Receivers range from 5'7" to 6'6", but because they have to be fast they are normally light by football standards, 175 to 215 pounds.
X and Y (Split Ends) - Are usually taller and run routes downfield to stretch it, go routes, posts, post-corners, flags, curls, ect.
Z (Flanker or slot) - Generally, the flanker will be a bit smaller and faster than the split end. The flanker is going to get to catch a lot of passes because he's quick and fast, catch a lot of bubble passes and crossing routes, run fly sweeps. You wan the ball in the players hands (in space).
H (H-Back) - He is a flexed TE, designed to get a miss-match on a linebacker in zone, or the 4th best cover guy in man to man.
