Let me guess....you never played football at any level..right?
WR run in straight lines and cut/break the route moving forward. For the corner position, it's all about the back pedal and being able to turn the hips and swivel off of the back pedal. A lower center of gravity makes someone naturally more adept at doing so. A few tall guys can do so, Bobby Taylor comes to mind, but typicaly shorter guys with great hips make better corners because they are more adept at transitioning from the back pedal off the break.
