Is it worth keeping your 'perfect' attribute roll if you get stuck with a short build (6'0")?

Speculated but not evidenced.
Some people believe that the only really fast receivers have been short; this is definitely a misconception, but the only thing that matters is whether Bort feels like shorter should mean faster.
In reality, the taller you are the more likely you have a larger gait and therefor have the potential to be faster.

I thought Bort had said he made it so the lighter guys were faster and the shorter guys could cut better.

I've never seen it.

He said weight had an effect. I don't recall him ever mentioning an effect on speed or agility from height.

He's 6'5
Randy Moss is 6'4
Eric Dickerson, 6'3
Bo Jackson: 6' 1, 225 lbs <--insane cuts, and you can't say he isn't big
Those are just some of the fastest.

Bob Hayes defined speedster WRs and he was 5' 11" 185lb so sometimes small is fast, but obviously there are plenty of examples of tall is fast, too.

yeah, i doubt it is a very significant factor in GLB, and if anything weight probably has more to do with it than height for modifying speed.
