“At Football IQ, we redefine football education by combining advanced film analysis, real-time feedback, and personalized coaching into a comprehensive training experience. Our goal is to make football knowledge accessible to all.” — Brandon Mebane, Super Bowl XLVIII Champion and Football IQ Founder
Brandon Mebane, 2025 Top 50 Seahawk of All Time and Super Bowl XLVIII Champion, turned his 13-year NFL career into a mission to elevate players through tactical film study. As founder of Football IQ, he helps athletes at every level master the game mentally and physically.
From UC Berkeley to becoming a defensive anchor for the Seahawks and Chargers, Brandon’s journey reflects resilience, discipline, and leadership. Drafted in the third round, he rose from third-string to starter by Week 6 of his rookie season—thanks to relentless 6am film sessions and a commitment to learning.
His success came not just from talent, but from mastering the mental side of football. That expertise now drives his passion for mentoring high school, college, and pro athletes. Through Football IQ, Brandon provides film study, personalized coaching, and strategic insight to build smarter, stronger players.
Today, he’s also a sought-after speaker, sharing lessons on performance, leadership, and resilience with a voice of wisdom, experience and authenticity.
