Yahoo Sports NFL on Lewis Bond
From the article
In 2025, his fifth season with the Eagles, Bond maxed it out with career highs in targets (111), catches (88), and receiving yards (993)... the tape shows an NFL-caliber separator... when you stand about 5'11", weigh about 190 pounds, and run a 4.58-second 40-yard dash at your pro day, you will be overlooked.
STACKED’s take
Bond's 111 targets and separator skills make him a smart sixth-round value despite 4.58 40-time.
The Texans selected Boston College receiver Lewis Bond with the 204th overall pick in the sixth round. In his fifth season with the Eagles in 2025, Bond posted career highs in targets (111), catches (88), and receiving yards (993), though he had just one touchdown. The source notes that Bond's tape shows NFL-caliber separator ability, which is more important than burner speed. Despite standing 5'11", weighing 190 pounds, and running a 4.58-second 40-yard dash (leading to a scouting combine snub), the Texans are convinced they got their man. GM Nick Caserio praised Bond as 'really smart,' 'really instinctive,' with 'good ball skills' and the ability to 'find a way to get open.' Wide Receivers Coach Ben McDaniels called Bond 'one of the smartest players that he ever talked to.' The source identifies Bond as an underrated draft pick who 'knows how to get and stay open, and he's not afraid to get grimy over the middle,' traits that C.J. Stroud should appreciate.
