An NFL receiver can be anywhere from 5' 5" like Trindon Holliday with the Denver Broncos to 6'6" like Plaxico Burress who played for the Giants. Most receivers are in the 6' to 6' 3" range.
Different size receivers also have different roles. Some smaller receivers like Wes Welker are relied upon for big completions from the slot. Receivers that are smaller but quick like Welker or DeSean Jackson of the Washington Redskins are given the ball in space and allowed to get yards after the catch. These receivers catch the ball and instantly change their role to that of a runner trying to gain yards. Additionally this type of receiver typically make good returners.
Bigger receivers are used for jump ball situations in the red zone. These guys are relied upon to get above the defenders and make the catch. The best receivers in the NFL combine these traits. Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss, and Andre Johnson use their combination of speed and size to come up with big plays.
