College career

[edit]

Streets playedcollege footballand basketball at theUniversity of Michigan.As a true freshman in the1995 NCAA Division I-A football season,Streets only caught five passes for the1995 Michigan Wolverines football team:he caught three in the 52–17 October 28Little Brown Jug rivalry gamevictory against theMinnesota Golden Gophersand two in the 31–23 November 25Michigan – Ohio State rivalry gamewith theOhio State Buckeyes.[63]All five athletes who had more receptions than him that season went on to play professional football (Mercury Hayes− 48,Amani Toomer– 44,Jay Riemersma– 41,Chris Howard– 14 andJerame Tuman– 9).[64]Hayes, Toomer and Riemersma, who accounted for 75 percent of the team's yardage,[65]were all selected in the1996 NFL draft,[66]leaving Streets as the leading returning wide receiver (Howard was arunning backand Tuman was atight end).[67]

In1996,Michigan dealt with a starting quarterback returning from a season-ending injury and a depleted receiving group:Scott Dreisbachhad missed the final two-thirds of the season, leavingBrian Grieseas the starter and freshmanTom Bradyserved as an understudy.[67]Streets earned the starting wide receiver job and started in all twelve games.[68][69]He led the1996 Michigan Wolverines football teamin receptions and reception yardage with 44 receptions for 730 yards.[64]In the first game of the season againstIllinois,Streets made the key block on Dreisbach's 72-yard touchdown run.[70]Two weeks later he made key catches on both the game-tying and game-winning scoring drives against theColorado Buffaloes.[71][72]His best statistical performance came at home inCook County, Illinoisin front of a large gathering of friends and family againstNorthwesternwhen he recorded 12 receptions for 150 yards in an October 5, 17–16 loss. This first appearance in the Chicago area would be his collegiate career-best in terms of single-game receptions.[63][73]The 12 receptions was a school record,[74]but it was overshadowed by afumblethat changed the momentum of the game.[75][76]Streets caught two touchdown passes both in rivalry games: the opening score from Dreisbach in the 44–10 victory againstMinnesotaand the only touchdown in a 13–9 victory overOhio Statefrom Griese.[77][78][79]In his sophomore year, after the football season ended with the January 1,1997 Outback Bowlgame,[80]he joined theMichigan Wolverines basketball teamin the last week of January and made his debut in a February 1, 1997 game againstMichigan State.[81]The team went on to win the1997 National Invitation Tournamenton March 27 that season,[82]and Streets played a few minutes in four of the five games.[83]However, due to theUniversity of Michigan basketball scandalthe championship has been vacated.

At the MarchNFL Combine,Streets ran the third fastest40-yard dashin a time of 4.42 seconds.[117]Streets was regarded as between the 6th and 8th best wide receiver in the1999 NFL draftaccording to most expert analyses in April.[118][119][120][121][122]However, he ruptured his rightachilles tendonin a pickup basketball game prior to the draft and was expected to be sidelined for six to eight months.[123]As a result, he was the twentieth wide receiver selected.[124]Streets, who was oncrutchesat the time of the draft, was relieved to have been drafted.[125]

Professional career

[edit]

San Francisco 49ers

[edit]

TheSan Francisco 49ers,who hadJerry Rice,Terrell Owens,andJ. J. Stokes,did not need a wide receiver right away and gambled on the projected 2nd-round selection with their sixth round pick.[126][127]Head coachSteve Mariuccisaid that the team had evaluated his prospect as an injured athlete and had determined him to be a good selection for later rounds despite his injury.[127]Streets was the only 1999 draftee not to sign in July when the other draftees signed,[128]but he signed just before the end of the month.[129]Just before the season started, Streets was placed on the reserve non-football injury list in order to make roster space forNa'il BenjaminandDamon Griffin.[130]Streets was activated onto the 53-man roster prior to week 13 of the season to replace the injuredR. W. McQuarters.[131][132]He activated for the gameday roster three weeks later for the final two games.[133][134]In his second game, he caught his first two NFL receptions on theMonday Night Footballseason finale.[135][136]

When Streets had the chance to exhibit his skills during the2000 NFL seasonfor the2000 49ers,he proved himself to be the only speed receiver with the ability to create big plays downfield, but he remained the fourth receiver.[137][138][139]During the season as the number four receiver, Streets caught a total of 19 receptions,[140]and he caught four in both games Owens was inactive.[141][142]In mid-December, Streets broke histibiaand ended his season two weeks prior to the end of the season.[143]The game was Rice's last home game as a 49er and the day that Owens set the then-NFL record for single-game receptions, with 20.[144]

In the2001 NFL season,Rice signed with theOakland Raiders.[145]Streets became the number three receiver for the2001 49ersbehind Stokes and Owens that season.[146]In the season opener against theAtlanta Falcons,Streets totaled 81 yards receiving as part of a 335-yard day by Garcia.[147]This was Streets' single-game season-high yardage total for the season.[148]It included a 52-yardovertimecatch on 3rd-and-5 in the game-winning drive, the longest reception of Streets' career and more yards than he would accumulate in any single game the rest of the season.[140][148][149]Streets recorded his first career touchdown on December 2, 2001, against theBuffalo Bills.[150]Over the course of the season, Streets started three games, and his total receptions and yards, compared to the prior season, increased from 19 to 28 and 287 to 345, respectively.[140]The2001–02 NFL playoffswere Streets' NFL playoff debut. In the team's only game againstGreen Bay,Streets tied for the team-high with four receptions and 50 yards, just two yards short of Stokes' 52-yard effort.[151]Streets caught a fourth-quarter touchdown and game-tying two-point conversion in the game,[144]but the 49ers yielded ten fourth quarter points to lose 25–15.[151]

In the2002 NFL season,Stokes often performed the role of atight end,[152]and got injured clearing the way for Streets to start in some games for the2002 49ers.[153]Streets started a total of 14 games that season.[140]He had eight receptions three times,[154][155][156]but recorded no 100-yard games.[148]The final eight-reception game against theArizona Cardinalson December 21 would prove to be Streets' career-high 90-yard game.[148]The following week on the final Monday Night game of the regular season, Streets posted his first and only two-touchdown effort in a losing cause against theSt. Louis Rams.[148][157]That season, Streets posted his career-highs in yards (756) and receptions (72) and totaled five touchdowns for the first time.[140]The 49ers' season continued into the2002–03 NFL playoffsand Streets caught five receptions in both of the teams' playoff games, including a game-winning touchdown with one minute remaining in the January 5, 2003, 39–38 victory over theNew York Giants.[158][159]The Giants game was memorable for its 24-point comeback by the 49ers.[160]Despite the natural glory of the game-winning catch, Streets remained a modest footnote in the press and humble with his friends.[6][161]After the season, Streets was a restrictedfree agent.[162]He was expected to be signed and traded to another team before the2003 NFL draftin order to improve the 49ers' draft position.[163]

The team replaced Mariucci withDennis Ericksonin February 2003.[164]Before the2003 NFL season,Stokes, who at the end of 2002 had been struggling to hold on to the third receiver position,[165]was signed by theJacksonville Jaguars.[166]Streets started every game for the2003 49ers.[140]His best performance in terms of receptions and yards was a December 14, 6-reception 89-yard day that included a 41-yard touchdown against theCincinnati Bengals,[148][167]which was his longest reception of the season.[140]That season, he totaled 47 receptions and 595 yards as well as a career-high seven touchdowns.[140]Over the course of the season he was slowed by kneetendinitisand after the season he wanted to return to theMidwest.[168]Streets along with Owens, starting quarterback Garcia and startingrunning backGarrison Hearst,and startingoffensive linemenDerrick DeeseandRon Stonewere all let go by the team that year.[169]That is regarded as the biggest release of offensive starters in NFL history by a team in a single season.[170]

In March, Streets signed with theDetroit Lions,for the2004 NFL season.[171]In the2004 NFL draft,the Lions drafted wide receiverRoy Williamswith the seventh overall selection one year after drafting Rogers in the first round.[172]Williams and Rogers were projected as the starters with Streets considered the third receiver as the season began.[173][174]Rogers broke hiscollarboneon the third play of the season and was lost for the entire year.[175]Streets started 12 of the 13 games that he played for the2004 Lionswhile accumulating 260 yards on 28 receptions.[140]In the seventh game against theDallas Cowboyson October 31,Roy Williamsleveled Streets, who did not catch another pass in the game after the second quarter hit.[176]Streets did not return to practice until November 17.[177]He was in the lineup on November 21, and caught a pass against theMinnesota Vikings.[178]Streets was listed with an injured knee after the December 26 game against theChicago Bears.[179][180]Streets did not appear in the Lions' final game of the season on January 2.[148]After the season, he was an unrestricted free agent, due to his years of seniority.[181]The 49ers received a compensatory draft pick in the2005 NFL draftfor losing Streets to free agency.[182]Instead of re-signing Streets, the Lions signed wide receiverKevin Johnsonin April 2005.[183]
