According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston, the San Francisco 49ers were among several teams that conducted a formal interview with Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond at the NFL Scouting Combine. With Deebo Samuel headed to the Washington Commanders—a trade set to become official at the start of the new league year on March 12—the team will likely target a receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft.
"Bond made a strong impression, per multiple NFL teams," Wilson wrote. "He also displayed outstanding hands and route-running skills, tracking the football well along with an ability to navigate the sideline."
Over three collegiate seasons, Bond (5-11, 180) recorded 99 receptions for 1,428 yards and 10 touchdowns, adding 101 rushing yards and a touchdown on five carries. He spent his first two seasons at Alabama before transferring to Texas, where he averaged 15.9 yards per reception in 2024.
Bond ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the Combine, the ninth-fastest time among receiver prospects. Wilson noted that Bond showcased elite acceleration, reaching a top speed of 24.17 miles per hour, per Next Gen Stats—the second-fastest mark at the event behind Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston's 24.25 miles per hour.
"What separates me from the rest of the draft class is the sheer speed," Bond said in Indianapolis, per Wilson. "There's not a receiver that has the speed and capabilities that I have. It's not just speed; I'm a complete wide receiver. I have amazing routes. If you watch the tape, you'll see that."
