Pittsburgh Steeler rookie Mike Wallace was recently invited to the NFL rookie photo shoot in the LA Memorial Coliseum. Only 34 of the NFL's top selections in the NFL draft was invited to the event.

And while his career has yet to blossom, you have to like his swagger.

"Hopefully I can take over and become as superstar in Pittsburgh, and take the billboard from Big Ben and Troy Polamalu. That's a big step to take, but hopefully one day I can get there." Wallace told Upper Deck during the shoot.

Admittedly, Wallace was humbled about being invited to the event.

"It's a real honor to be out here, It's real exciting to be out here," Wallace said. "I would have done anything if I could have gotten Dion Sanders or Michael Irving to sign a card when I was younger in front of me, it would have been crazy. It shows me that people want to see me to do good, so it's exciting to be out here."
