On the latest NFL Players: Second Acts podcast, former QB Christian Ponder joins Peanut and Roman. Christian shares his football journey playing at Florida St. under legendary coach Bobby Bowden to becoming a first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2011. He also talks about what it was like having a front-row seat to history in 2012 when Adrian Peterson ran for 2,097 yards. And Christian says when you shake Adrian’s hand you do so at your own risk. Christian also discusses how he got his undergraduate degree from Florida St. in two-and-a-half years and went on to get his MBA. Despite his academic credentials, Christian opens up about his struggles to transition from football after his six-year NFL career. However, he has found success in his new company called “The Post,” and he shares how he’s working to build a networking community of athletes turned business leaders. And how does Christian have a connection to Jackie Robinson, you ask? Take a listen and find out!
