Ponder was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings with the 12th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. He started a majority of their games between 2011 to 2013. But Ponder’s career was doomed thanks to a poor supporting cast around him, a general lack of progression as a pro, and eventually issues with injuries. He left Minnesota after the 2014 season and finished his career as a backup quarterback with the San Francisco 49ers in 2016.

Ponder now spends his days as the home-maker of the family, while his wife — ESPN personality Samantha Ponder — has actually become the more recognizable name in today’s sports scene. The couple welcomed a daughter in 2014 and a son in 2017.
