The Give – Tight End Pass Fundamentals – Brian Sheehan, Offensive QC, Minnesota

In this episode of The Give, Brian Sheehan, Offensive Quality Control at the University of Minnesota, shares tight end pass fundamentals from the 2026 LFG Clinic.

Sheehan explains why tight ends often decide critical situations and outlines the framework he uses to develop the position:

  • Why tight ends create matchup and personnel advantages
  • The three standards of elite tight end play
  • Coaching vision through post-snap questions
  • Playing the situation, not just the play
  • Streamlined coverage identification
  • Release fundamentals built on leverage and body control

This session focuses on building tight ends who win route-side space and finish at the catch point.
