Two have done it.

One isn't surprising
The other is surprising if you only know about the 2nd part of his career

I'm gonna wait for someone to post the correct answer (cuz I don't know and too lazy to research it).

I do know George Blanda, of all people, once scored 3 rushing TDs in a game. Think it was his first year in Houston (1960), so he wasn't yet quite the fossil most of us remember him as.

Oh, Billy Kilmer?? When SF was running the shotgun back in 1960 or '61?

Yes. It was against the Vikings even though he didn't throw 1 pass and the real QBs were Brodie and Waters

Oddly enough the other quarterback, Jack Kemp, who rushed for 8 TDs that year, didn't even have a rushing attempt that game. He did throw 4 of his 20 passing touchdowns that game.

Bobby Douglas in 1973 against the Packers in a 31-17 win. A two yarder and 3 one yarders. Probably just as amazing is he went 10-15 passing in that game
