Isaiah Bond’s 40 yard dash time after saying he would break the combine record
The NFL combine is underway from Indianapolis and the stars of tomorrow look to impress teams, but Isaiah Bond was looking to do more than impress.
The NFL season came to an end less than a month ago, but football fans have been enjoying the offseason pigskin oasis this week with the NFL Combine in full swing from Indianapolis.
A couple of Longhorn speedsters
It’s a place where legacies are started, futures determined and sometimes records are broken. There are six drills in the combine that players of all positions, sizes, and athletic ability are put through. The 40-yard dash is the flashiest one, and this year Isiah Bond had his sights set on breaking the record that was just set last year.
The former Texas Longhorn, and current Kansas City Chief Xavier Worthy broke the 40 yard dash record at the combine last year running a 4.21 in the 40 before being taken by the Kansas City Chiefs late in the first round.
WR Isaiah Bond says he’ll break Xavier Worthy’s 40-yard dash record.

This year it was another Texas Longhorn, Isaiah Bond’s turn to run the 40 and talked about having a record breaking day from Indianapolis. “I’ve been running my whole life,” Bond said. “I’ve been one of the fastest my whole life, so I’m going to go out there, and when practice meets preparation, greatness is achieved. So I’m just going to trust my training and put on a show.”
Bond falls short
Bond started his career at Alabama before transferring to Texas last season. He had just 34 receptions last year, but totaled 540 yards receiving and 5 TDs. Bond ran a 4.39 which was 0.10 seconds slower than Maxwell Hairston from Kentucky who ran a 4.28. In total, 12 players ran faster than Bond on Saturday’s 40 yard sprint.
The fastest the speedster ran last season was more than 22 miles per hour in the Longhorns’ win over UTSA and said that his personal best time coming into the weekend was 4.23.
After his combine day, he have another workout at Texas and after that it will be a waiting game until his name is called on draft day, The NFL Draft will be held from Green Bay from April 24-26.
