WR Devin Street, Pittsburgh -- Street is a player with unknown potential. He's been stowed away at Pitt under two incompetent quarterbacks and two entirely different offensive systems. Under that adversity, however, Street has set the record for the most receptions in school history. Watching him, it's easy to see why. Despite all the adversity, Street gives 110%, working hard to make himself available for his QBs and trying like hell to reel in poor passes thrown his way. There's a lot of stuff about Street that's pretty good but doesn't blow the doors off anybody: his size at 6'3", 196 lbs; he runs hard and makes quick cuts, but isn't necessarily a burner; his routes need some work, but his slants and go routes look great... Street does have really good hands, however -- not a lot of drops on his tape, period. And I know this is not a tangible measurable, but he just looks like a winner to me. He doesn't quit, he fights through everything, and improved his game every year. So while it's hard to know what exactly you have in Street as a prospect, because his QBs were so bad, I can't help but feel like he's a gamble worth taking.
