Street: ‘I can take the top off the coverage’

IRVING – Cowboys fifth-round wide receiver Devin Street stressed it would be a mistake to think he’s slow because of his 40 times.

Street, who carries 190 pounds on a lanky 6-foot-3 frame, ran a 4.53 at the combine and a 4.46 at Pittsburgh’s pro day.

Some people don’t call me a blazer, but in games I do run past people,” Street said in a conference call with the Dallas media. “I do understand how to run routes. I understand tempos. And I feel like I’m going to get faster as well. Getting stronger and getting into a great organization like the Dallas Cowboys, with so many capabilities, so many assets, I think I am going to do great with them. I can take the top of the coverage. I can run those deep routes, but I can also run those short, intermediate routes as well.”
