   One who passes; one that is upon the road.

   Etymology: from pass.

   Under you ride the home and foreign shipping in so near a distance, that, without troubling the passer or borrowing Stentor’s voice, you may confer with any in the town. Carew.

   Have we so soon forgot,
   When, like a matron, butcher’d by her sons,
   And cast beside some common way a spectacle
   Of horror and affright to passers by,
   Our groaning country bled at every vein. Nicholas Rowe.

Examples of passer in a Sentence

1. 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?

2. Bobby Portis:

   He’s another big that we really needed, we were thin on big men and he came in and did his thing. We can feed him in the post and he’s a great passer. He can shoot the ball and get to the free throw line. He can do a lot of things and he’s still a force.

3. Dennis McCarthy:

   If you're a really good passer in football, you line up the axis of rotation with the axis of symmetry of the football, and it doesn't wobble.

4. 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.

5. Mike Brown:

   A lot of people see his scoring prowess, obviously, he can shoot the 3, he can post up, his medium game is the best in the business. But when he came to the Warriors, I was shocked by two things. The biggest thing was just his feel and intelligence on the defensive end of the floor ... and then on top of that, he’s a phenomenal passer.
