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

I meant pass plays, hence the "high point" comment.

You think a coach would be sending a 7 ft wr out on fly routes?
