QB Christian Ponder had a fine performance at the Florida St. Pro Day. Ponder elected to throw in all the passing drills and opted to keep his times from the NFL Combine two weeks ago. Ponder threw the ball well, showing an above average arm with fine touch and accuracy. He threw to NFL receiver Isaac Bruce and a few running backs, displaying the ability to throw the complete passing tree. He has been our #2 senior QB since August 2010 and remains there behind only senior Jake Locker at this point. He overcame a few arm and shoulder injuries that left his postseason vital for his draft status. At the Senior Bowl, he had a strong week of practices and won the MVP award for his game performance.
