Texans selected Boston College WR Lewis Bond with the No. 204 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Spending all five of his college seasons at Boston College, Bond(5’11/190) enters the NFL as the Eagles’ all-time receptions leader. His highest-volume season was as a redshirt senior in 2025, tallying 88 receptions for 993 yards and a touchdown. Bond is a fluid route-runner whose compact frame gives him balance and the ability to drive through contact after the catch. Though he is not a fast downfield runner nor does he have a large frame to make contested catches, Bond can excel in the intermediate area with quick-game route-running. At the next level, Bond profiles best as a ball-carrier in space. With a few years of practice reps, Bond could emerge as an underneath option for C.J. Stroud.
