Yes. When Theismann came to the Redskins in 1974 they already had Sonny Jurgensen and Bill Kilmer at quarterback. The story goes that George Allen, the head coach, told him there was no playing time at QB for him so he volunteered to return punts. In the 1974 season, he returned 15 punts for an average of 10.5 yards with a long return of 44 yards.
