Holder
Who is holder in American football?
Do the rules protect the holder during the kick?
The holder is a player receiving the ball from the long snapper or quarterback. Its task is to prepare it for any place or drop kick, excluding kickoffs. The college and high school holders are also responsible for the block.
The holder puts one hand on the ground near the place of the kick. The kickers foot helps the holder to designate it. After receiving the snap, this player puts the ball on ground or turf and balances it till kick occurs. The holder and kicker are protected from invasion of opponents. Holder roughing or any other interference awards 15 yards of penalty with automatic first down.
Sometimes the holder throws a forward pass. It signals about the fake field goal. This player can also try to run or pass if the kick is botched. Such attempts rare succeed. The defenders easily tackle it due to uncommon actions.
