Once guaranteed first-round capital by analysts, Texas’s talented receiver Isaiah Bond went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft. This is the latest in Bond’s story of a fall from grace, which began with his transfer from Alabama to Texas before the 2024 season. He concluded his sole year at Texas, having taken a step back; he caught 14 fewer passes and had 128 fewer yards.

NFL teams took notice of his lack of progression, dropping his draft projection out of Round 1 and into Day 2. He completed his three-year college career with just 99 catches for 1,428 yards and 10 touchdowns in 41 games. Bond’s draft fate was sealed when sexual assault allegations were levied against him just weeks prior to the draft. Bond maintains his innocence, but NFL teams steered clear of the wideout. He is now a free agent and able to sign anywhere, but clubs are likely waiting for the results of the accusation.

Bond’s draft capital was sky-high, not so much because of his college production, but because of his pure talent and athleticism. An explosive athlete who is dynamite with the ball in his hands, if Bond latches on with a team, he should be peppered with targets every Sunday. There have already been reports of Dallas’ interest.

The wide receiver is going widely undrafted in dynasty leagues, save for some late-round fliers at the end of rookie drafts. Managers with empty roster spots could do worse than stashing this elite talent in case he lands in a favorable situation. If he is on waivers in leagues when he finds a home, there will be a race to the waiver wire.
