Shuler was drafted as the franchise’s quarterback savior with the third pick in 1994. After failing as a player, he returned to Washington as a congressman.
The Redskins drafted Tennessee quarterback Heath Shuler with the third pick in 1994. By Les Carpenter Les Carpenter Reporter covering Washington Redskins and NFL Email Bio Follow April 23 at 12:19 PM All this time later, Cam Cameron goes silent. For years, he ran offenses in the NFL, molding Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Drew Brees and Joe Flacco, and he even coached the Miami Dolphins for a season.
Instead, his selection was the beginning of a cascade of botched or ill-fated quarterback decisions that has put the Redskins back in the same place a quarter of a century later: desperate to draft a quarterback who can stop the franchise from careening into irrelevance and bring back winning again.
“You better be John Elway from jump street,” Washington Post columnist Michael Wilbon wrote on the day Shuler got to camp.If there was one thing that surprised the Washington coaches the most about Shuler, it was the way the offense didn’t come naturally. The holdout had given Gus Frerotte time with the team that Shuler didn’t have. Shuler tried to catch up but struggled after being named the starter early in the regular season, and Washington kept losing.
The Redskins decided to move on after the 1996 season, trading Shuler to New Orleans for third- and fifth-round draft picks. He played 10 games for the Saints, throwing two touchdowns against 14 interceptions. After another foot injury, his career essentially was over.
