Isaiah Bond NFL Draft Stock

Isaiah Bond is an exciting NFL draft prospect, but he is not expected to be drafted in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft, per Bleacher Report. Some other wide receivers have shown the ability to be more productive on the field throughout the college football season.

Bond is listed at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, and needs to continue showcasing his skills in the NFL Combine as well as his pro day. Expect to see him as a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
