He went on to spend two seasons with the Browns before being released just prior to the 2012 regular season. Wallace was signed by the New Orleans Saints on April 15, 2013, and later released on August 19.
A 33-year-old native of Sacramento, CA, Wallace played at Iowa State University, where he finished his Cyclone career having completed 411 of 712 passes for 5,289 yards and 26 touchdowns. He added 237 rushing attempts for 912 yards and 15 scores on the way to finishing his collegiate career as the school’s record holder with 6,201 yards of total offense.
