‘Going to break it’ – NFL prospect boldly vows to smash Chiefs speedster’s breathtaking combine record
Isaiah Bond didn’t hesitate. The Texas star wide receiver is confident he is going to break Xavier Worthy’s NFL scouting combine-record 40-yard dash time from a year ago. Worthy ran a 4.21 at last year’s scouting combine, setting a new record in the processGetty At this time last year, Worthy set the NFL world on a fire by running a 4.21, breaking the previous record held by John Ross with a 4.22. That was enough for the Kansas City Chiefs to trade up and draft the speedster with the 28th overall pick. Bond is looking to make a similar impression. The 20-year-old spoke to the media on Friday and made it clear what his goal is. “I’m going to break the record tomorrow for sure,” Bond said. “I anticipate running 4.20 or possibly, if I’m feeling great, I might run a 4.1.” The wide receiver didn’t duck from his bold prediction. “I’ve been running my whole life,” Bond continued. “I’ve been one of the fastest (athletes) my whole life. So I’m going to go out there, and when practice meets preparation, greatness is achieved. “I’m just going to trust my training and put on a show.” Bond was injured throughout the year but made an impact when he was on the fieldGetty Bond put the NFL world on notice with his bold remarks at the combineGetty Bond played one season for Texas after playing the previous two seasons at AlabamaGetty Bond is expected to go anywhere between the second and fourth round. Most draft experts have a late second round grade on the Texas WR. In his lone season in Austin, Bond finished with 34 receptions for 540 yards and five touchdowns. Forget breaking Worthy’s record, if Bond can have a rookie season like the Chiefs wide receiver just had, then he will be more than worthy of a high draft selection. With the Chiefs, Worthy played in all 17 games (13 starts) and totaled 59 catches for 638 yards and six TDs. He found another gear in the playoffs, catching at least six balls in all three of the Chiefs’ games and averaged 15.1 yards per reception. He saved his best for last, as Worthy finished Super Bowl LIX with eight catches for 157 yards and two TDs. It was the most receiving yards in Super Bowl LIX set a rookie record. The floor is now Bond’s. A 4.20 seems highly unlikely. A 4.19 feels impossible. Bond wrote the check with his mouth, now it’s time for his legs to cash it.
