What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about MIKE WALLACE: Mississippi, 6003 199 4.30. Three-year starter. Rare speed and athletic ability. No hold up in press coverage.

Has two returns for touchdowns in career. Has a third gear burst to run away from tacklers. Quick feet to beat bump coverage. Can avoid and show a burst to get upfield and separate.
