<P> The holder 's actual position , on the team 's official depth chart , is generally either the punter or the backup quarterback . Some high school football teams will place a wide receiver or running back at the holder position because of their good hands ( this is not unheard of at other levels ; Steve Tasker , a wide receiver and punt gunner , also played holder at various times in his NFL career , as does his son Luke Tasker , also a wide receiver ) . </P>
