"short" guys in the NBA are like 6'3" and taller (obviously some shorter exceptions). They are going to be pretty limited by body type to WR and TE. Maybe a few edge rushers or over sized S/OLB hybrid types.

But there are diminishing returns on height in football for most positions and NBA players are too light for OL/DT.

Very few, if any, have the size/power and lateral speed to even attempt to play NFL linebacker

Most are too slow for corner

They would be annihilated at that height as LB or RB.
