Texas WR Isaiah Bond says

Let's just say that the Texas receiver Isaiah Bond is confident that the NFL scouting combine.

In conversation with reporters in front of the wide receiver workout on Saturday, Bond predicted that he would beat the 40-yard-dash record of Xavier Worthy, another former Texas Wideout, and possibly become the first player in combination history to start a time, starting at 4.1:

Worthy broke a seven-year-old record last year when he achieved a 40-year-old of 4.21 and exceeded John Ross III's record of 4.22 in 2017. This in the draft became a higher recipient level, which led to it was taken by the Kansas City Chiefs 28.

Bond said by ESPN, his best time in training before the combine was 4.23 seconds:

Bond moved from Alabama to Texas in the last low season and never overlapped. However, he replaced worthy as the deep threat to the Longhorns, and he was third in the team with 540 yards and five touchdowns in 14 games.

Bond's design is based on speed, so it will be the players who are most at stake when the beep sounds in Indianapolis.
