Bond went undrafted out of Texas in 2025 but flashed as a rookie with Cleveland, totaling 18 catches for 338 yards on 44 targets while starting two of his 16 regular-season appearances. Still just 22 years old, he remains part of the Browns' offensive rebuild under new head coach Todd Monken, though Year 2 brings much tougher target competition. Cleveland added rookies KC Concepcion in the first round and Denzel Boston in the second of the 2026 NFL Draft, while veteran WRs Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman remain in the mix, along with second-year TE Harold Fannin. Bond is likely to open 2026 in a reserve role.
