Christian Ponder was grocery shopping when Broncos called

It was a seemingly normal day for Christian Ponder, who apparently was out getting some items needed for Thanksgiving when the Denver Broncos got in touch with him. He says he’s been anxiously waiting for that call to come.

“I’ve been in Phoenix—we live there for the offseason—just working out, waiting for the call to come and fortunately it did yesterday when I was shopping for groceries for Thanksgiving. I had to drop everything and get on a flight. Again, I’m excited to be here.”

Apparently, he also had a run-in with the Sheriff himself — Peyton Manning — as he arrived at team headquarters.
