Doesn't have to be big. Just has to be elusive and able to avoid the brunt of a big hit. Guys like Marvin Harrison, he never gets hurt because he's able to avoid being drilled and doesn't take unnecessary hits. But it's much different for a kick returner I suppose.
IMO, you want your return guys to be smaller. Smaller target, tougher to round up. You don't want a string bean though. And if he's lightening quick to boot and has good vision, you've potentially got a winner.
And as was mentioned, Dante Hall goes 5-8, 187. Russell is 5-7, 191.
