Actually, during the writing and eary screen plays the dinosaur Deinonychus was being put forward as the first "man-sized" Velociraptor species. But the idea was rejected by scientists about halfway though the filming, so it was too late to change it.
However, even if Deinonychus was to be seen as a type of Velociraptor, it STILL wouldn't have looked like it did on Jurassic Park as scientists believe it had feathers.
