Early life and college

Kellar was born in Longview, Washington, but played high school football at Hillsboro High School in the Portland metropolitan area where his father was the track coach.[1][2][3] During the 1973 state championship game he scored two receiving touchdowns against Medford, which at the time was the second most in championship game history.[4] He played college football at Stanford University as a wide receiver.[2][3]

Professional football

After college, he was drafted by the Chiefs in the seventh road of the 1978 draft.[2] Kellar played five games for Kansas City wearing 82, but did not accumulate any statistics.[1][5] He injured his knee in week 6 against Tampa Bay and was placed on injured reserve, missing the remainder of the season.[6]

gollark: No, I mean the "no telling people what they are".
gollark: There goes the "this seems kind of wrong" again...
