Christian Ponder

Just 28-years-old, Ponder would be a great person to bring in and show the Vikings’ quarterbacks what not to do after they snap the ball. His ability to teach may also be better than his ability to play as he earned his college degree at Florida State in less than three years.

Sure he may currently be a member of the San Francisco 49ers, but the Minnesota quarterbacks coach vacancy seems a bit more enticing than suiting up so sit on the bench each week for the 49ers in 2017.
