you make a good point. I think your correct.

There is an NFL Insider article (dont have access) talking about a size/speed formula.

Someone else created a Height Adjusted Speed Score (HASS), but I havent seen the formula.

This is the most detailed study I have found looking analyzing 816 wide receivers.

in that study, the author used an Explosive Power ratio

a metric comprised of a player’s height, weight, vertical jump and broad jump. It attempts to quantify how much power and explosion a player can physically generate in his play.

along with other filters such as Speed Score, 3-cone time, and production.

Nice to look at, but dont think its all that accurate.
