I thought it was usually a backup QB, in case the snap gets botched and, then, they can run a pass play

Almost always the punter.

These days I would guess that almost all holders are punters.

Fairly common to be a punter… that way the long snapper and kickers can work

Years ago the starting qb was typically the holder.

Used to be fairly common for the backup QB to have that duty, but it seems
