If there's one thing that's certain for former Liberty star Devin Street, it's that he will be drafted by an NFL franchise this week.

The uncertainty of it all is when and where Street will be taken when the draft officially kicks off Thursday night in New York City.

Street, a star wide receiver at Liberty during the team's 2008 state championship run, will be making his childhood dream come true when the draft gets underway this week.

As a standout at the University of Pittsburgh over the last four-years, Street will walk into rare company this weekend when he anticipates being selected anywhere from the second through fourth rounds.

Over 20 teams have been in contact with the Pitt Panther, who finished last season as Pitt's all-time leading pass catcher with 202 career receptions.

The 6-foot-4, 195-pound Street, caught 51 balls for 854 yards and seven touchdowns last season in 10 games, as he was forced to sit out the final two contests of the season with an injury, including The Little Caesars Pizza Bowl against Bowling Green.

The long road to the NFL was never easy, but Street understands that Liberty helped transform him into the person and player he is today.

"Ever since I was six-years-old, I had a dream of playing in the NFL," said Street. "I'd have older mentors who have always helped me out. I never let my ego get too big and always tried to work harder everyday.

"Liberty helped me understand ways to get through adversity and how it prepared me for life."

Street is back in Bethlehem and will remain in town until he gets on a flight later this week to join his new team. He spoke at Liberty's Alumni Day last Saturday and relayed the message to those in attendance on how Liberty helped him and how dreaming big is always a great option.

"Playing in the NFL is the pinnacle of anyone that dreams to be a football player," he said. "It's crazy and delusional to think about it until it actually comes to fruition. Some people think it's impossible. I'm just happy that I've been given this opportunity and I feel truly blessed."

Street will watch the draft at home with his family and friends, as the first round will be televised Thursday night starting at 8 p.m. on ESPN and the NFL Network.

The second and third rounds will be televised on Friday, starting at 7 p.m. and rounds four through seven conclude the draft Saturday beginning at noon.

"I'm excited, but at the same time I'm not getting complacent," said Street about this week's surreal setting. "I still have a lot that I can do to improve myself."
