Yahoo Sports NFL on Lewis Bond

Sixth-round sleeper Bond overcomes measurable concerns with intelligence, production, and coaching conviction.

Sixth-round pick by the Texans who was a notable scouting combine snub despite measuring 5'11", 190 pounds with a 4.58-second 40-yard dash; however, GM Nick Caserio praised Bond as "really smart," "really instinctive," with "good ball skills" and noted he "finds a way to get open" and was "very productive with his opportunities." Caserio emphasized Bond played in an NFL-style offense under Bill O'Brien at Boston College, saying "you see that in his play" and that despite measurables suggesting he's "a little slower, a little shorter," he "produced consecutively for multiple years." WR/Offensive Passing Game Coordinator Ben McDaniels called Bond "one of the smartest players that he ever talked to." Texans WR coach Collins added Bond "is a dog," "picking up things," "getting open in the slot, making plays," and "has all the tools in the world," predicting he "is going to be special, for sure."
