Christian Ponder
Between 2011 and 2013, Christian Ponder started most of the Minnesota Vikings’ games as a quarterback. He retired from professional football in 2016 while playing for the San Francisco 49ers. It’s funny how things turn out – the football star has now taken a step out of the limelight as his wife, ESPN personality Samantha Ponder, gets all the publicity now.
Joey Harrington
In 2002, the Detroit Lions were thrilled to pick up Joey Harrington as their third pick in the 2002 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, their time together would not be as productive as they would have wished. He eventually retired from football in 2007, when he was just 29 years old. After football, he has been involved in charity work and is now a college football analyst for NBC Sports.
