Here's a fun fact for all you Buffalo Bills fans. Did you know that the Bills have the smallest receiving corps in the NFL (http://www.cleveland.com/browns/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/sports/1180859574294501.xml&coll=2&thispage=2)? That's right; all of their top four wide receivers are less than six feet tall.

I'm not going to insinuate that being small contributes to struggles on the field, but I will suggest that it hinders a wide receiver's ability when they are covered by someone who is both big and fast.

Don't care if our WR's were only 3 foot tall, as long as they make plays.

I think the bigger problem is that it doesn't let us exploit smaller DB's like teams with bigger WR's can- an opponent's weakness can become a strength, or at least a push.

[Bling]

Like Op, I wouldn't be worried so much about how tall they are but rather can they abuse weaker CBs? We know Evans, Reed and Parrish can burn you. Can they take the bumps and give some of their own? Basically the problem Indy's WRs had against NE years ago in Foxsboro.

the bills receivers are short because cheap ralph doesnt want to pay for more inches

[DynaPaul]

Denver went to a couple of Super Bowls with some pipsqueek receivers back in the 80's.

[The Spaz]

What huge receivers do the Colts or Rams gave?
