False.

Again, who?

What skill position players are 6-2 without shoes, in the NFL?

Then imagine that being about the minimum height to be in the NBA, so they're going to be competing with point and shooting guards.

And if these guys could play in the NBA, why aren't they? That's an insanely dumb decision to make.

Are you seriously claiming that no non-linemen in the NFL are over 6’2? Is that seriously what you are saying?

There are some WRs who fit this bill. Jefferson and Chase come to mind. Maybe Drake London (he played basketball at USC) but he's probably too slow.

WRs and edge rushers are really the only two positions in the NFL with the body types and athleticism that could translate to the NBA. I think someone like Travon Walker has the athletic profile to play in the NBA, for example.
