Eagles' Chip Kelly likes his wide receivers to stand tall

IF YOU look around the league, you'll notice that Chip Kelly isn't the only guy who worships at The Church of Big People Beat Up Little People. He just happened to be clever enough to come up with a nifty catchphrase for it.

This is getting to be particularly true at the wide-receiver position in the league where, to borrow a line from the famous 1977 Randy Newman song, short people got no reason to live.

Consider:

* Of the 30 wide receivers who had the most receptions in the league last season, 23 were 6-foot or taller.
