Ronald Franklin "Jingle Joints" Sellers (born February 5, 1947) is a native of Jacksonville, Florida who was an All-American wide receiver at Florida State University (1966-1968) and a former professional player in the American Football League (AFL) and National Football League (NFL). While at FSU, he became the most prolific wide receiver of his era, establishing numerous NCAA and school records. Despite being limited to only 30 regular season games of eligibility, the two-time consensus All American still holds 17 receiving and scoring records at Florida State. Sellers was inducted into the FSU Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor and his #34 jersey has been retired by the school. In 1988 he became the first FSU player to become a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. He was the 6th overall selection in the 1969 NFL draft for the AFL's Boston Patriots where he became an AFL All-Star. He also played for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins.
