    Of horror and affright to passers by,

Examples of Passer in a Sentence

  1. Cassius Marsh:

    They asked me to do a bunch of stuff that I had never done: covering running backs and receivers and basically almost never rushing the passer, which is what I did in playing defensive line, they don’t have fun there. There’s nothing fun about it. There’s nothing happy about it. I didn’t enjoy any of my time there, you know what I’m saying? It made me for the first time in my life think about not playing football because I hated it that much.

  2. Ed Hochuli:

    He got in my face in an aggressive manner and used abusive language. As for the hit, we did not think that it rose to the level of roughing the passer.

  3. Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning:

    He's just had an incredible year. There's no doubt in my mind that he's going to be the( season's) MVP, what he's done in the short time being an NFL quarterback has been awesome, awesome. That's the best word I can think of. He's been a great passer, a great runner and a great leader.

  4. Joel Embiid:

    What are you really going to do? He’s a great passer and, obviously, (I’m) someone that attracts a lot of attention, too, you’ve got to make a decision. Do you stay on me or do you stay on him?

  5. Trey Hendrickson:

    I ca n’t say enough about guys that have done it before me and continue to get after the passer consistently, it’s a hard thing to do, but it’s a great fight. So I look forward to getting after the quarterback on Sunday and taking care of our job.
