Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder was among those selected by PFF in a recent list of the worst first-round picks in the NFL Draft since 2006.

After witnessing the career of the legendary Brett Favre crumble in front of their eyes in 2010, the Minnesota Vikings decided to use their first-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft on former Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder.

Looking back on it, the Vikings probably would have been better off with a hobbled Favre playing under center for a few more years than what Ponder attempted to do for them out on the field during his time with the team.
