quarterback keeper
Passer runs himself
A quarterback keeper is a football play in which the quarterback retains the ball and runs with it rather than handing off or passing.
The play exploits defensive expectations—defenders commit to covering receivers or stopping the running back, leaving gaps for the quarterback to advance through: He picked up six yards on a quarterback keeper.
