# List of NFL players with a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in a single game

As of March 15, 2025, only 12 players in the history of the National Football League (NFL) have scored a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in the same game. This feat is generally achieved by running backs, as their position naturally receives the most carries in a game, is a receiving target in the passing game, and can occasionally throw the ball on halfback option plays. Only one wide receiver, David Patten, has achieved this feat, as wide receivers run the ball much less often than running backs. As neither of these positions generally throw the ball, they require a trick play to throw a touchdown pass. Only one quarterback, Josh Allen, has achieved this feat; although quarterbacks are often required to run the ball, they generally only catch a ball if it is thrown by someone else in a trick play. A passer can be credited with a passing and receiving touchdown on the same play if he passes it to a receiver and the receiver then gives the ball back (either by lateral, backward pass or handoff) to the passer and scores a touchdown, as was the case with Allen, who scored on such a play on a hook and lateral with Amari Cooper.
The first player to achieve this feat was Ray Renfro of the Cleveland Browns on December 6, 1953; the most recent player to do so is Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills on December 1, 2024.
