Yahoo Sports NFL on Lewis Bond
From the article
his route-running skills are second to maybe only Tank Dell on Houston's roster, and he's been one of the most celebrated young players during training camp
STACKED’s take
Bond's elite route-running fits Stroud's preferences; 4.59 40-time weakness to be tested in preseason.
Sixth-round rookie WR (204th overall) from Boston College with 100+ catches and ~1,000 receiving yards in college last year, but fell due to lack of NFL size and speed (4.59s 40-yard dash). The source notes Bond's route-running skills are second only to Tank Dell on Houston's roster and he's been one of the most celebrated young players during training camp. The source connects Bond's excellence to C.J. Stroud's preference for route-specialists who get open quickly (citing Tank Dell, Stefon Diggs, Robert Woods, Noah Brown as prior targets). Bond's primary weakness—his 4.59s 40-yard dash—will be tested against NFL talent in preseason, but the source suggests his route-running excellence might overpower speed deficiencies in the competition for the final WR spot against Jared Wayne, Josh Kelly, and Jha'Quan Jackson.
