Left end

In American football, “left end” refers to a position on the offensive or defensive line. The left end is typically found on the left side of the line of scrimmage (from the offence’s perspective). It is responsible for carrying out specific duties depending on whether they are on offence or defence.

On offence, the left end is an offensive lineman who lines up on the left side of the offensive line, typically next to the left tackle. Their primary responsibility is to block defenders, create running lanes for the ball carrier or provide protection for the quarterback.

On defence, the left end is usually a defensive lineman positioned on the left side of the defensive line, opposite the right tackle on the offensive line. The left end’s primary role is to disrupt the opposing team’s offensive plays by pressuring the quarterback, stopping the run, or engaging in pass coverage, depending on the defensive scheme.
It’s important to note that positions can vary slightly depending on the specific offensive or defensive formation being used by a team. Still, the left end generally refers to a player’s position on the left side of the line.
