But what makes Christian Ponder the #2 guy in the draft? Doesn't he have an injury history?
Absolutely he has an injury history. However, i believe he proved at the Senior Bowl that those injuries are a thing of the past.
Christian Ponder was widely considered a 1st round talent prior to his injuries. Heck he was widely considered a 3rd round talent WITH the injuries in question. That speaks to how talented he actually is.
1. He's extremely smart. Graduated in 2 1/2 years.
2. Solid frame.
3. Better than average mechanics.
4. Excellent footwork.
5. Can make all the throws.
6. Ran a pro-style offense.
7. Has proven he can read coverages.
8. Extremely mobile and awareness.
The only real issue with him is his injury past. He's probably the best qb suited to run the WCO coming out in the draft.
