Does size matter?

It does in terms of attributes like speed, agility, etc. It's all relative. For example, a 6'6" 270lb TE with a speed and agility rating of say, 80 compared with a WR who is 6'2", 200 lbs with a speed and agility rating of 80 - the WR will be faster and more agile than the TE. It's not an enormous difference, but noticable. Just because you have big DT and a HB with the same speed rating doesn't mean that the DT can keep up with the HB in a sprint.

Right, but i was just talking about how i can send my 6'9" te down the field on a seam and he catches it in double coverage because he's taller than both db's by 9 or more inches- a catch my 5'9" speedy receiver cant make, because he's too short. It seems it actually does matter.
