FSU football: All-Time top ten receivers in Seminoles history
FSU football career receiving leader No. 2: Ron Sellers
- 3598 receiving yards
- 23 touchdowns
- 17.1 yards per catch
Ron Sellers owns several Florida State program records at the receiver position: single-season receptions (86), single-season receiving (1,496), single-game receptions (16), single-game receiving yards (270), and single-game receiving touchdowns (five). While he played during a different era of athlete development, Sellers was still one of the state’s greatest athletes during the 1960s; starring on the hardwood and the gridiron.
Sellers didn’t see that success translate to the NFL, flip-flopping from being a starter and reserve. A championship is on his record, but Sellers was released by the 1973 Miami Dolphins before their victory over the Minnesota Vikings at Super Bowl VIII.
