Florida State QB Christian Ponder threw passes under the watchful eye of NFL scouts Wednesday to one of the league's best receivers ever -- Issac Bruce. The retired NFL veteran was called into action in part because of the NFL labor strife. No current NFL players are allowed to workout in front of league executives and the Seminoles had no senior receivers on their roster last season. "It was crazy," said Ponder, whose mom, dad and brother watched the workout. "I never thought I'd be throwing to Isaac Bruce at some point in my life." Ponder has his agent to thank for the opportunity. The Florida State quarterback and Bruce are both clients of Memphis-based Jimmy Sexton.
