Velociraptor (and all other 'raptor' dinosaurs, for that matter) had long, stiff tails for balance while runnig. These small, slender dinosaurs could reach speeds of nearly 40 mph. They needed a balance mechanism, or they would simply fall flat on their face (snout?) when they reached such speeds.
The role of the tail was to act as a counterbalance to keep it even despite the weight of its head and torso. In fact, the tail made up half of the Velociraptor's length. Velociraptor was 6 feet long, and its tail was 3 feet long.

Velociraptor's tail was about half of its length. They were 6 feet long, thus their tails were 3 feet long.

They had particularly long legs
6 feet long.
Velociraptor may not have had any predators. The area where Velociraptor lived was home to a small tyrannosaur, but it is unknown what type. It may have been Alectrosaurus, a 17 foot long tyrannosaur. Velociraptor was fast, though, so it usually could have escaped an Alectrosaurus.
Velociraptor belonged to the family Dromaeosauridae. There were many species in this family that were larger than Velociraptor, but the largest was Utahraptor. Utahraptor grew to be 23 feet long and weighed between 1,100 and 2,200 lb.

The scientific name for a velociraptor is velociraptor monogoliensis.
Velociraptor was a predator and so would have no interest in such a food. Additionally, velociraptor went extinct long before there were people to create such foods.
