Shooter: Mike Hohenseeis the lone Gophers QB in history to have thrown NFL TD

Not true Geno Cappalletti threw one in his career with the Patriots.
During Cappelletti's pro career, he also returned punts and kickoffs, played defensive back and even had one pass completion for a touchdown.
As a senior in 1954, Cappelletti switched to T-quarterback and led Minnesota to a 7–2 record, missing the final game with an elbow injury,[9] a 27–0 loss at Wisconsin.[10] He was named to the All-Big Ten second team, but was not selected in the 1955 NFL draft.

At least we don’t have Purdue’s embarrassing record re: this stat . . . .
 

Alarming. Didn't Weber throw a TD pass in a preseason game?

Gino threw that TD pass in 1961 for the AFL Patriots. NFL, AFL merged in 1967 and became the NFL in 1970.

Certainly seems possible...and didn't Leidner throw a TD pass for the Vikings in pre season?

But, in general overall that's pretty sad. I don't see it changing for 5-6 years at least either.
