The fullback position is very important to the Washington Redskins’ offense

Mike Sellers doesn’t get much fanfare but he’s a big part of the offense.  He is a huge guy at 6’3″, 284 pounds and it’s like having an extra guard on the field with him in the game.  Sellers played in 14 games (12 starts) with the Redskins last season and he carried the ball 26 times for 78 yards (3.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He also caught 17 passes for 117 yards (6.9 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Look for Sellers to have another good season doing the dirty work for the Redskins’ offense.  Sellers has now played in 115 games (41 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 40 times for 132 yards (3.3 ypc) with 3 TD runs.  He has also caught 73 passes for 582 yards (8.0 avg) with 15 TD grabs in his career.

Nehemiah Broughton will likely be the backup at fullback for the Redskins in 2008.  The 5’11″, 255 pound Broughton did not play at all last season.  He has played in 6 games (0 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 1 time for 3 yards.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE 2008 SEASON:  B

    Another very important position is that of the cheerleaders. There’s a bunch of videos of the cheerleaders on comcastsportsnet.com. Well worth your while. Check it out.
