Mike Wallace Video: Watch Steelers WR Show off Blazing Speed on 95-Yard TD

Brian MaziqueOct 23, 2011

Mike Wallace took some exception with EA Sports when it didn't make him the fastest player in its annual release of "Madden NFL Football." Players like Chris Johnson were originally rated higher than Wallace in this year's game.

He showed he has a case as he torched the Arizona Cardinals secondary with this 95-yard TD from Ben Roethlisberger. The separation he gets before the ball goes up is the true testament to Wallace's speed.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Wallace was almost forced out and down at the end of that play. He was off balance and he was able to restore enough speed, quickly and take it in.

He completely blows past the coverage. He gets deeper than the safety so fast, Roethlisberger doesn't even really need a lot of protection. 

EA does a weekly reevaluation of its player ratings. It makes those updates available to gamers. You can bet football and gaming fans will be looking for Wallace to get the Devin Hester treatment, especially the ones in Pittsburgh.

Hester was the first NFL player ever awarded with a perfect 100 speed rating in "Madden." Wallace may have just earned the right to be the next guy so honored.

The Steelers running game has begun to pick up over the past two weeks. With Wallace's home run ability, the Steelers offensive attack is even more deadly when teams have to account for the big play over the top as well as on the ground.
