When wide receiver Isaiah Bond transferred from Alabama to Texas, he was projected to be the Longhorns’ No. 1 receiver and the best deep threat in college football.

Unfortunately, an injury and inconsistency at quarterback turned Bond’s dream scenario into a nightmare and made his year at Texas forgettable. But Bond can put all that behind him after being selected in the 2025 NFL Draft and focus on getting healthy.

Bond is a great risk/reward player and one that the Pittsburgh Steelers will need to keep an eye on during the pre-draft process. Bond has had some ugly breakdowns this season that reminded me a lot of Diontae Johnson, but when he’s focused and playing well, he’s much better than Johnson at his best.

Taking Bond in the first round isn’t realistic given his potential red flags, but late in the second or even third round, Bond would be the prototypical Steelers guy of choice.
