Positives

Prototypical height with an average overall build and the frame to add some weight.

Quick and sudden with the breaks in his routes.

Gets the most out of his athleticism by clearly having a firm grasp on the fundamentals of his routes.

Footwork in press coverage is impressive—he's quick, decisive and knows exactly how to position himself to gain an edge.

Often beats press coverage against less experienced defensive backs without even initiating contact.

Makes up for his lack of speed by setting up defensive backs with his footwork and positioning himself to gain an extra step wherever possible.

Ran the full route tree at Pittsburgh.

Does a nice job tracking the deep ball over his shoulder and adjusting to the placement of the ball.

Gets the most out of his physical tools after the catch—he's smart about knowing when the matchup allows him to try to make a guy miss or when he needs to simply lower his shoulder and fight for the tough yardage.

Reliable hands and generally catches the ball away from his body whenever possible.

Willing to work the middle of the field and has shown the ability to go for the ball and hang on even with a defender coming in for a hit within his field of vision.

Relatively durable—missed the final three games of his career, but had played in every game, including 30 starts, prior to the end of his senior year.

Negatives

Straight-line speed is below average.

Lacks the extra gear to lose defenders and get over the top of the defense.

Has the height, but not the size to compete for balls in traffic.

Given his all-around skill set, he would greatly benefit from adding another 10-15 pounds of muscle.

Underwhelming effort when going up for contested catches—struggles to put himself between the ball and the defenders and gets out-muscled by smaller defensive backs.

Despite giving a solid effort, he simply lacks the speed and agility to be a threat after the catch.

Blocking skills are limited, both by physical tools and technique.

Missed final three games of the 2013 season with an ankle injury and a blood clot in his elbow.

May have maxed out his potential, especially if he doesn't add the weight to improve his ability as a possession receiver.

Overall

Street is among the most efficient route-runners in this year's class, and has the potential to develop into a quality possession receiver as a result.

Unfortunately, it's tough to see him finding much success immediately because of how he struggles to compete for the ball in traffic. In college he used his route-running technique to create the space to work free over the top, but too many NFL corners have the speed to recover from a misstep or two.

For Street to succeed at the next level he'll need to add some weight and improve his ability to win the battle for 50/50 balls.
