Marques Tuiasosopo Marques Tavita Tuiasosopo ( born March 22 , 1979 ) is a former American football quarterback who is currently a coach for the Washington Huskies football team . He was drafted in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders . He played college football at Washington . He has also been a member of the New York Jets . Early years . Marques was raised in Woodinville , a suburb northeast of Seattle . An excellent athlete , he was also a standout shortstop in baseball at Woodinville High School . After his senior year , Tuiasosopo was drafted in the 28th round of the 1997 MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins , but chose to play college football instead . Because he played on both offense & defense in high school ( option quarterback & safety ) , he was primarily recruited by Division I football programs to play defense . Marques accepted a football scholarship to the University of Washington in Seattle , primarily because Jim Lambright was one of the few head coaches that would grant him the opportunity to compete at quarterback , rather than just at safety . College career . While at Washington , Tuiasosopo majored in business administration . In September 1997 , months out of high school , he was called into action in a nationally - televised home game against Nebraska , due to an injury to starter Brock Huard . Despite losing 27 - 14 , Tuiasosopo was impressive against the sixth - ranked ( and eventual national - champion ) Cornhuskers , throwing for 270 yards and two touchdowns . Later in the year against Oregon , he became the Huskies ' first true freshman to start a game at quarterback , throwing for 261 yards and rushing for 95 , in a 31 - 28 loss . He also played considerably the following year for the oft - injured Huard , and never did use his redshirt season . Following the 1998 season , Rick Neuheisel replaced Lambright as head coach , and named Marques as the starting quarterback to replace the graduating Huard . As a junior in October 1999 , Tuiasosopo became the only player in NCAA college football history to pass for over 300 yards and run for over 200 yards in a game , during a 35 - 30 victory over the Stanford Cardinal at Husky Stadium . That year he led the Huskies to a 6 - 2 conference record , finishing in second place to the Cardinal and earning the team a bid to the 1999 Holiday Bowl . As a senior in 2000 , he led the Huskies to the Pac - 10 title and a 34 - 24 Rose Bowl victory over Drew Brees and the Purdue Boilermakers , and was named the MVP of the game . The Huskies finished the season with an 11 - 1 record , ranked third in the national polls . The season included a victory over the Miami Hurricanes at Husky Stadium in September , the Hurricanes only loss of the season . Tuiasosopo threw for 225 yards and a touchdown and ran for 45 yards and another touchdown in the 34 - 29 win , earning national acclaim while finishing 8th in Heisman voting . Professional career . Oakland Raiders . Tuiasosopo was selected by the Raiders in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft , the 59th overall pick and the fourth quarterback selected ( behind Michael Vick , Drew Brees , & Quincy Carter ) . In the NFL , Tuiasosopo has primarily been a reserve quarterback , the Raiders ' backup to Rich Gannon and Kerry Collins . He was on the sidelines for Super Bowl XXXVII at the conclusion of the 2002 NFL season , but did not appear in the game as his team lost 48 - 21 . His first significant playing time came during a Monday Night Football game during the 2003 season , throwing for 224 yards , all in the second half . Marques played well enough to earn his first career NFL start the following week , but struggled , throwing for just 65 yards along with an interception before leaving the game with an injury late in the first half . He did not start another game until late in the 2005 season , where he again struggled losing 26 - 10 . He was promptly demoted back to the sidelines the next week . The team finished just 4 - 12 in the 2005 season with primarily Kerry Collins as the starting quarterback , paving the way for the younger Tuiasosopo to receive more consideration for the job . New York Jets . Tuiasosopo signed a one - year contract with the New York Jets on March 23 , 2007 . Second stint with Raiders . A free agent in the 2008 offseason , Tuiasosopo re - signed with the Raiders on May 22 , 2008 , on a 1 - year contract in his final NFL season . Post - football career . Tuiasosopo had been a strength coach for the football team at his alma mater , the University of Washington , and later accepted a similar position with UCLA where he joined his former coach Rick Neuheisel . He returned to the University of Washington on December 29 , 2012 as quarterbacks coach . Personal .
