How former Mizzou tight end Sean Culkin cracked the Los Angeles Chargers’ roster

In a Week 12 game against the Arizona Cardinals, Sean Culkin did something Missouri fans weren’t used to seeing from him when he was playing at MU.

The Los Angeles Chargers tight end took off down the sideline and went up for a jump-ball in double-coverage. The pass from Philip Rivers fit into a perfect window, and Culkin came down the catch, the first of his career and a 24-yard gain that set up first-and-goal.

It wasn’t the kind of play you’d see from Culkin during his college days at Missouri. With just 61 catches and two touchdowns in his career at MU, the 6-foot-6 tight end didn’t see many passes come his way.
