HI, MY NAME IS JT O'SULLIVAN
I'M A FORMER NFL QB, PHD, COACH, AND HOST OF THE QB SCHOOL
I was an NFL QB for nearly a decade. Since retiring I've earned a PhD and teach an undergraduate course in Leadership in Sports. Also, I am a High School Head Football Coach. In addition, I am the host of The QB School on YouTube. Since 2018, the QBS has posted over 500 videos with over six million views on football education and analysis.
Throughout the Master Pass Protection course we examine the the why, the how, the purpose, the benefits, the drawbacks, the construction, the fundamentals, the reads, concepts, the toolkits to learn and master pass pro and how it impacts QB performace.
Over the past few years, I've shared some football knowledge on the hundreds of The QB School videos. Every week I receive emails and comments from people who have found the videos and immediately improved their football IQ, coaching, playing, or general understanding of the game.
But in the process, I've also heard from many people either just starting out or bounded by region, coaches, or opportunities that need more than just YouTube video help. They need guidance on the entire process of certain football elements. Fans, players, and coaches need a more complete road map of every phase of the football process so they can maximize their efficiency and improve their results and better understand the game of football.
That is why I created Master Pass Protection. I want to help fans, players, and coaches learn from my experiences (both good and bad) and how important understanding and using pass pro is for QBs. From NFL Sundays, to college Saturdays, to Friday nights, to youth games, to Madden, this course will transform your football IQ and elevate your capacity to play and coach QBs.

Hi, I’m JT O'Sullivan, PhD. I'm a former NFL QB, football coach, and host of the The QB School.
I was an NFL Quarterback for a nearly a decade. I played with 11 NFL organizations. I have a PhD in Leadership Studies and teach an undergraduate course at the University of San Diego titled Leadership in Sports.

Throughout the course of a long NFL career and higher education instruction, I have learned a lot about the different approaches coaches and offenses can take at every level of football.
And over the past few years, I've shared that knowledge of how to play football at the highest level in nearly 500 episodes of The QB School. Every week I receive emails from people who have found the channel and immediately improved their understanding, coaching, and playing because of it.
But in the process, I've also heard from many people that they need more than just short, one-off tutorials. They need guidance on the entire process of high-level offensive football. People need a more complete road map of every phase of the process so they can maximize their efficiency and improve their results.
