Admittedly, I could be wrong. I wasn’t sure how to query this on PFR in the Player Game Finder without being able to designate position, so I looked for players with >=50 rushing yards and >=2 pass attempts.

In the last 5 years, QBs have done this 120 times. Newton has 24, Vick 17, Wilson 13, Kaepernick 12, Griffin 11, Tebow 8, Terrelle Pryor 5, Rodgers/Bortles/Locker/Fitzpatrick 3, Alex Smith/Tannehill 2, and 14 more QBs with 1.

One of my favorite football books.
