Although I think Long would be successful at WR as well, remember that short stature is a disadvantage on offense as well.  Who is the last 5'10" receiver at Stanford who's had a ton of success?  Maybe Drew Terrell (though most of his success was as a punt returner) or Doug Baldwin (though he didn't really blow up until after he graduated).  I think Long has other attributes that would make him the next big success IF he were to play WR at Stanford, but let's not pretend that short stature is no big deal for a WR.

Drew Terrell was our top wide receiver in 2012, with 33 catches for 463 yards and a 4 touchdowns.  Our next leading wide receiver was Jamal Rashad-Patterson with 16 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns.

Doug Baldwin was our top receiver in 2010, with 58 receptions for 857 yards and 9 touchdowns.  That's our third highest receiving total for a wide receiver since 2008 (only Ryan Whalen in 2009 and Ty Montgomery in 2013 posted more receiving yards).
