Kevin White and Amari Cooper were among the 44 receivers measured on Thursday..
The top quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers all converged on Indianapolis on Wednesday, and on Thursday the three positions all lined up for measurements. The height, weight arm length and hand size measurements are all in for this year's receivers, which is considered a strong class, but not as loaded as the 2014 group.
That class may have been the best ever from a pre-draft hype standpoint, and it certainly delivered during the NFL season with receivers like Odell Beckham Jr. and Mike Evans making names for themselves in the league. This year, Kevin White and Amari Cooper are the headliners and are talented enough that they would have been among the top receivers last year as well.
Like running backs, top-tier receivers don't necessarily have to be taller to succeed because there are many different things asked of them depending on where they typically line up. Slot receivers can change any game, and that's what many of the shorter players will end up being. There's a pretty wide gap when it comes to height disparity this year -- massive Darren Waller comes in at 6'6, while the shortest players are Jamison Crowder and Mario Alford, who both measured at 5'8.
