Roughing the Passer

I would have to see it. If he clocks him then yes, if it just a brush then no, especially if the defender is trying to hold up.

In my play the defender didn't do much more than lightly hit the helmet. I didn't throw the flag because of the severity of the hit, rather than because there was no need to touch the QB at all. The pass was well gone and the defender had turned to run by the QB. As he did so he reached out and deliberately hit him in the helmet. It just looked like a punk thing to do.
