4.01 Dallas Junglehawgs - WR Devin Street

In the real world: The Cowboys drafted Street out of Pittsburgh in Round 5. He's 6'4", but lanky (190 lb.) and with only average speed (4.56 40). As a senior last season, he caught 51 passes for 854 yards and 7 TDs; he missed three games with injuries. It was a mildly disappointing season after catching 73 passes for 954 yards and 5 TDs in his junior season. Russ Lande, a former NFL scout who once wrote for The Sporting News, said in The National Football Post in 2012 that Street would have to add bulk and strength if he wants to be successful against bigger, more physical NFL cornerbacks.
In the TUFF world: Welcome to Round 4--low risk, dreams of high rewards. In addition to his height, Street has another thing in his favor: The job situation with the Cowboys. Miles Austin is gone, and Street will compete against Dwayne Harris and Cole Beasley for targets as the Cowboys' #3 WR. Their #1 wideout, Dez Bryant, could become a free agent after 2014 (although the Cowboys would be wise to extend his contract).
