Isaiah Bond is known for his elite speed and athleticism but has struggled with contested catches. Although he possesses good hands, his 5’10”, 180-pound size limits his ability to win at the catch point against tight coverage, further hindered by a limited catch radius. As a result, he has achieved a lower success rate on contested targets.
However, Bond’s skill set could flourish in schemes like the spread offense and air raid offense, where his 4.39-second 40-yard dash speed, agility, efficient route running, and nuanced separation skills can be fully utilized to stretch defenses and create mismatches.
