In a football game, the player who throws the football is typically the quarterback (QB). The quarterback is positioned behind the offensive line, often considered the leader of the offense, and is primarily responsible for throwing forward passes to advance the ball towards the opponent's goal line. The quarterback touches the ball on almost every offensive play and is usually the main passer in the game.
Other players can sometimes throw the ball, especially during trick plays or laterals, but the quarterback is the primary thrower in football games.
