Christian Ponder and Curtis Pulley are well known for being able to read defenses.

The quarterbacks for Florida State and Florida A&M universities showed off their reading skills for a new audience Wednesday, the students at Hartsfield Elementary.

Ponder and Pulley had some high-powered company, including Tallahassee Mayor John Marks and the Big-Headed Beaver and Friends, the mascots from the Character Center. The reading event was part of a national initiative, Raising Readers.

It's always good to see football players being good ambassadors for their schools by getting involved with events like this in the community.
