From the article
his route-running skills are second to maybe only Tank Dell on Houston's roster... Stroud is getting exactly what he's looking for in Lewis Bond.
STACKED’s take
Bond's elite route-running fits Stroud's preference; speed weakness is preseason test.
Sixth-round pick (204th overall) WR from Boston College has route-running skills second only to Tank Dell on Houston's roster and is celebrated in training camp despite falling in draft due to lack of NFL size and speed (4.59s 40-yard dash). Source notes Stroud has a clear preference for route-specialists who get open quickly—Tank Dell was his favorite target when available, and Stroud also targeted route-runners like Stefon Diggs, Robert Woods, and Noah Brown. Bond fits this profile with 100+ catches and nearly 1,000 receiving yards in college last year. Competing for final WR spot against practice squad receivers Jared Wayne and Josh Kelly, and former Titans returner Jha'Quan Jackson; if Bond responds to speed weakness with twitchier movement in preseason, Texans may have found depth at shallow WR position.
