Michigan Football: Top 10 All-Time Wolverine wide receivers
. . Tai Streets. 8. player. 811.
His high school team beat Kevin Garnett in basketball; he was a tremendous track athlete, and, yes, he excelled at football, to say the least.
Tai Streets can be remembered as the guy that caught four passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns as the Wolverines toppled Washington State to grab a share of the National Championship on January 1st, 1998. Or the guy helped lead the team past No. 11 Arkansas, the following season, catching seven passes for 129 yards in the Citrus Bowl. The Razorbacks battled hard, and Michigan defense faltered, but never failed in their 45-31 victory.
Tai was selected in the 1999 draft by the 49ers in the sixth round. Just like in college, Streets was surrounded by some of the best to play the game. Tai would have to work harder and longer than anyone else as he sat behind Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens. By 2002, Tai reached his prime for the 10-6-1 San Francisco squad, recording 756 yards on 72 catches.
Streets worked as an AAU coach and faced adversity in a pay-to-play scandal, which he has since recovered from, and he was recently recognized as the City/Suburban Hoops Report Coach of the Year.
