blitzer
Quarterback's sudden threat
A blitzer is someone or something that attacks with speed and intensity.
In American football, a blitzer is a defender who rushes the quarterback rather than dropping into pass coverage: The blitzer came untouched off the edge.
More broadly, anyone who moves fast and aggressively through a task or competition: She's a blitzer on standardized tests.
