1. Holder

   In American football the holder is the player who receives the snap from the long snapper during field goal attempts made by the placekicker. The holder is set on one knee approximately 7 yards behind the line-of-scrimmage. While the holder is set, he places the hand which is closest to the place kicker on the ground, and holds the other hand out to receive the snap. After receiving the snap, the holder will place the football on the turf, or block, with the laces facing the uprights, and balance the ball with one or two finger. The holder, like the placekicker and the long snapper, is protected from intentional contact from the opposing team. The penalty for roughing the holder is 15 yards and an automatic first down.

Examples of holder in a Sentence

1. Emeasoba George:

   I may not know what the future holds for me. But guess what? I do know the person that holds the future right inside the palms of his hands. And the person in question is nobody else but God almighty, who created the whole wide world out of nothing. And just because he (God) lives. I do believe I can face, embrace and maximize the future ahead of me. Now, that's why I don't really need to know what the future holds for me. And so, I urge you too never to be anxious of anything including your future. All you've got to do is just to strive and acknowledge the holder, controller and determinant of all things including the future i.e. God almighty. Because, once you've dared to acknowledge him (God). Believe you me. Your future must be worthwhile, enviable and fabulous. You can take my words for it/that.

No. Having respect for the office means principally, in my view, is the office holder should have respect for the office.

4. Lorenzo Lynch:

   I think that's a poetic description of what has happened and poetry, like most language, is limited but it does have wings ... to carry a point, Giuliani pushes for Lynch confirmation 'A moderately tough confirmation' Senate Republicans adamantly deny the delay in scheduling a vote on Lynch's nomination is because she is African-American. Many point out that Lynch, if confirmed, would be replacing the country's first African-American attorney general who was confirmed by an overwhelming margin. Instead, Republicans and Democrats say the delay is part of an ongoing partisan battle. For some, it's part of a fight over a human trafficking bill that has stalled in the Senate. For others, the delay is retaliation for President Obama's 2014 executive actions on immigration. On the eve of Holder's announcement of his plans to leave the Department of Justice, the political number crunchers at FiveThrirtyEight.com predicted whoever the President nominated would.
