The Houston Texans used the 204th pick in the sixth round of the draft to select Boston College wide receiver Lewis Bond, adding a compact target who piled up catches in college and arrives with a clear role to sort out in Houston.
Bond is just over 5-10 and 190 pounds, but his production traveled well beyond his frame. He caught 213 passes at Boston College, then in 2025 ranked fourth in the nation with 7.3 receptions per game and finished with 993 yards.
Former Boston College quarterback Thomas Castellanos offered a blunt scouting report on Bond, calling him an unbelievable receiver who can do it all. Castellanos said Bond was a very physical receiver who can make plays in space and break tackles, and added that he was open a lot and could have been targeted even more.
Houston's selection of Bond came as part of a broader Day 3 stretch that has given the team several different pieces to work with. The Texans also selected a linebacker with the 123rd pick, a guard with the 106th pick and a physical tight end with the 59th pick, while sending the No. 117 pick to Los Angeles in a separate deal.
For Houston, Bond is the kind of late-round pick that can matter quickly if his college production carries over. For Boston College, he leaves behind a résumé built on volume, reliability and enough after-the-catch force to make a sixth-round selection look more interesting than the number beside it.
