Small, skinny
ultra-fast white wide receivers need not apply in the NFL. Might be a
waste of time thinking that will ever change, regardless of talent level. If a short white is going to make it in the NFL, he better weigh close to 190 pounds these days and have a rock solid build, ala Danny Woodhead, who was listed at over 200 pounds. Tim Dwight and Jim Leonhard are among the small group of real small whites (height and weight) I can remember having long, accomplished NFL careers since the 90's. Tim was listed at 180 and Jim was listed at about 190 pounds. Jim wasn't real fast, but he was a first team All-American candidate at a big time school - Wisconsin.
I remember the 1999 Jets signed a real speedster from Delaware who broke
Jerry Rice's collegiate record for most yards in a season, along with
42 other marks. At the time, the Jets had little to no wide receiver depth and it seemed likely Eddie Conti (listed at 5'8" and 175 pounds) would join Wayne Chrebet on the Jets roster. Conti, per my memory, was
much faster than Chrebet, but never even spent a day on a NFL practice squad.
Then it "happened", legendary caste-cuck Bill Parcells "
spilled the beans". When asked about Conti he lauded his speed, toughness and skill....but did tell the media something like this:
I like him as a player, but I'm reluctant to put him out there because I'm scared he'll get hurt. Yes, Parcells did say he was scared he'd get hurt! Right there is your answer why light-weight whites are being ignored. Caste coaches
do not believe they are durable enough -- at least that's the excuse. I doubt we'll ever see a white Tavon Austin (top 10 pick). Obviously, there is a much different standard for small blacks.

The current GM of the Kansas City Chiefs
Brett Veach was about the same size and even faster than Conti at Delaware. Delaware was a 1-AA national power at the point and their "star quarterback" was non-other than Chicago Bears Caste clown deluxe R
odent Nagy. I remember Net sites posting insane 40 times for Veach at his Pro Days -- 4.3 or lower. Being naive, at that point, I thought Veach and Conti would absolutely following in the footsteps of Wayne Chrebet and have long NFL careers. Turns out Chrebet got very lucky,
Rich Kotite, a former NFL "lunch-pail" player, was the Jets HC at the time and let him play. Think
Pete Carroll, who Kotite replaced, would've even allowed Chrebet on the practice squad? He would've gone down the Caste memory hole like Conti and Veach! Remember how angry and resentful Keyshawn Johnson was of Wayne for beating the Caste system?

P.S.: I will say this over and over:
Any ultra-fast white player is going to face obstacles in the NFL. If they are smaller, it's even tougher.
But they all need to get their asses over to a Regional Combine, where they will be laser-timed (similar to the Indy Combine). Pro Day results mean much less to NFL scouts, who might reckon they are merely a function of a "faster track" or a "shoddy stop watch" or " friendly watch holder". I remember BYU had several white cornerbacks that smoked the track last decade. One (Nate Solberg?) ran a widely reported 4.19/40 at BYU's Pro Day. I believe NFL scouts (including Gil Brandt) eventually suggested (to Utah media) BYU's track "might have" a "downward tilt", which basically nullified the times with some scouts.
Also, every NFL team sends scouts to Regional Combines. That does not happen at Pro Day's for mid-major and smaller schools. For example, Maine and New Hampshire have had strong FCS programs. But some years, only the Patriots have sent a scout? Again, fast whites need to get to the Regional Combines. They have to pay a fee, but it's their best chance to beat the long, anti-white odds. Just ask
Adam Thielen. Had he gone to the Minnesota Gophers' Pro Day, instead of a Regional Combine, he might be selling used cars?
