There are plenty of 6+ foot guys who will still get up higher than a 7 footer in pads, when high pointing the football.
Sure, but very doubtful to be able to do that on a consistent basis in real time. A 7 ft WR would have a massive advantage on every play.

Because if you are 7’ tall with good enough skills to be even an average WR, you will make way more money and have a much longer career in the NBA
This is really why, as well as the injury part.

Wrong
On a run play, when they are blocking, they are at a massive disadvantage
They'd also be at a massive disadvantage on open field pass patterns, since they're not going to be very fast
Someone said it earlier, the test of time gave us 6'8 Harold Carmichael, and he's probably the standard tallest WR, forever
