Michael Sellers (best known as Mike Sellers in football), born July 21, 1975 in Frankfurt, Germany, is an NFL player for the Washington Redskins. He was the youngest player to sign a CFL deal in the history of the football league when he played at 19 years old for the Edmonton Eskimos.
Sellers was a standout player during high school in the United States, excelling in football, basketball and track at North Thurston High School in Lacey, Washington. During his senior year, Sellers was named Washington state's prep player of the year and the offensive player of the year. Later he attended Walla Walla College where he earned Juco All-America honors as linebacker.
Sellers attained some stardom in the Canadian Football League, where he moved to fullback and appeared for the Eskimos and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. With the Blue Bombers, he was the power half of what was then the league's most dangerous rushing duo, with fleet-footed running back Charles Roberts.
In a February, 2005 article in The Seattle Times, Sellers was named as one of the 25 greatest running backs in state history. [1]
Sellers and his wife, Nicole, have one child, Kayla.
