Whatever point you were trying to make, it wasn't clear.

Those guys are 6'0" and 6'1" and they are not shorter than that. I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

I'm not sure if you understand that slot receivers in this league are not 6' tall, if that's what you're getting at.

Lol yes, yes they certainly are. They certainly aren't meant to stretch the field, lack of size and vertical speed aren't the traits of a wide out.

1. How tall do you exactly think you need to be to be an Outside Wide Out Receiver?

2. How tall do you believe you need to be to play Slot?

I'm just curious, because I am not sure you understand the average height of the normal height of a wide out, or even a slot receiver for that matter..

Dunno why you're bothering. Those guys aren't as tall as they are listed at but Jordy is exactly as tall as he is listed. They are the same speed as Jordy with 8" better verts but they're slot receivers.

Height is literally the most important aspect of a wide out.

Wide outs routes aren't complex.

What does vert do on anything but a jump ball? You're stretching down the field full speed, you ain't jumping, you're relying on height and speed. A bunch of 4.5 guys running the same speed, I'll take the tallest. Both ty and adams are googled at 6'2" which is clearly incorrect and clearly your form of educating yourself or you wouldn't compare them to jordy in size

Inform yourself kids.
