The Minnesota Vikings headed to the South to continue their workouts of draft-eligible quarterbacks this week, with sessions with Florida State's Christian Ponder and Auburn's Cam Newton.

Members of the Vikings' staff are working out Ponder on Tuesday in Tallahassee, Fla., then will head to Auburn, Ala., to put Newton, the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner, through the paces.
