Could this possibly be the new "benchmark" for Speed-Built WR's in GLB ?

Didn't Bort say somewhere that height and weight are used to calculate subtle bonus's to certain stats.
6'0 and 180 would be the best for speed. 6'4 and 200+ would be the best for possession.
The next wave of big name WR's are looking to be 5'10 and under. Eddie Royal, Lance Moore, Desean Jackson, Donnie Avery, Devin Hester. Dwayne Bowe is the only potential breakout receiver that's big.

That thing your mom's ass makes because she's so heavy.

Calvin Johnson, Marcus Crabtree, Vincent Jackson, and Brandon Marshall disagree.

Oh but it does. You've obviously never seen Randy Moss try to juke as compared to Wes Welker. And you've obviously never seen Randy Moss run a go route as compared to Wes Welker. Size can make all the difference.
In general, tall guys have a speed advantage and the small guys have an agility advantage.
To put it another way, think Randy Johnson and Tim Lincicum in baseball. Because of Randy Johnson's superior height, he has a lot more leverage on the ball than Lincicum. His movement to the plate is much more gentle and he doesn't have to work as hard to get 98 mph. But on the other hand Lincicum's motion is much more violent because he doesn't have that natural leverage.
Or how about this. A taller players center of gravity is higher off the ground than a smaller player. For him to turn, he has to be much more under control to avoid falling. The smaller player doesn't have to worry about that nearly as much because of some complex physics that go into balance in the human body.
Basically, height does matter.

There is such a thing as too tall.
