Robert Height is a former indoor American football wide receiver who played six seasons of professional football for the Port Huron Pirates, Chicago Slaughter, Saginaw Sting, West Michigan ThunderHawks and the Port Huron Predators.
Height attended Cass Technical High School (in chemical engineering), where he graduated in 2002. He was a high school teammate of Vernon Gholston.
Because of his small stature, he was passed over by many top NCAA football programs, despite having 4.4 speed and being a two-star prospect according to Rivals.com He went to Northwood University in Midland, Michigan where he was coached by Pat Reipma. During his freshman season at Northwood, he did not see any time as running back or receiver, but he did find his way onto the field through special teams. As the primary kickoff returner, his lone touchdown came on a 91-yard kickoff return. In his sophomore season, he made an impact by being a big play maker on offense, both with rushing attempts and receptions, as he had the highest average yard gains per attempt on the team. In his junior year, his offensive load increased again. His senior year, he saw a slight decline in his playing time, losing his kickoff returning duties. He ranks 23rd in all-time rushing yards in Northwood history with 1,381. He also holds the school's single-season punt return yards with 319 in 2003.
In 2006 and 2007, Height played as a member of the Port Huron Pirates, an 2006 expansion team in the Great Lakes Indoor Football League (name changed to Continental Indoor Football League in 2007). As the Pirates backup running back in 2006, he was more of a threat as receiver and return man. The Pirates won the 2006 Great Lakes Bowl I by a score of 40–34 over the Rochester Raiders. Height was the team's leading receiver in the game with 3 catches for 48 yards. In the 2007 season, Height was unleashed upon the league, on his way to a CIFL-record 41 touchdowns. He was named the CIFL's MVP and Offensive Player of the Year.
