Breakdown and analysis of new Texans rookie WR Lewis Bond

Bond. Lewis Bond. Don't forget the name Houston Texans ' fans.

He could end up being a "Golden Eye" for the offense in 2026. After adding two offensive picks earlier on Day, the Texans secured a playmaker on the outside with the Boston College speedy slot option in the sixth round with pick No. 204.

For the Texans, the selection marked the first receiver taken by Nick Caserio in the cycle. Houston had been expected to target a playmaker, but the franchise elected to wait until Day 3. Enter Bond, a three-year starter with the Eagles who was known for being a premier route-runner and key slot weapon under former Texans coach Bill O'Brien.

Last season, Bond caught a career-high 88 passes and 993 receiving yards and a touchdown, breaking Boston College 's single-season program record in receptions. For his career, the 5-foot-10, 190-pounder hauled in 213 receptions, ranking No. 1 all-time in program history.
