Seems like between his failure to back up his big talk, and his lack of production as the season progressed, can't be good for his draft prospects.

NFL scouting combine: Texas' Isaiah Bond fails to back up prediction of topping Xavier Worthy's 40-yard dash record

The Texas WR said on Friday that he would beat Worthy's record time of 4.21.

Bond did have the fastest MPH time recorded at WR. His sprint start was pretty terrible, which is probably more important in track and field than football field.

I obviously could have picked a different story

The point I was making was that after he "guaranteed" he would beet Worthy's 4.21 combine record, he wasn't able to break 4.4. It seems to me that to claim you are going to break a record is a high risk, low reward proposition. If you can back it up, then you haven't gained much, but if you fail you look stupid.

Based on what data, does anyone know?

I just saw where Gunnar Helm injured his ankle on his first 40 attempt yesterday.

Guess they are just assuming since he was shooting for the record he made himself look like a jackass… I don’t see it that way and zero chance that a 4.39 hurts his draft stock lol

Ouch!

OTF had a good story today where exiting Texas players headed to the NFL were asked what Longhorns the fanbase should be excited about going into the 2025 season.

I loved the answers, many of them were predictable (Ryan Wingo mentioned A LOT). But when it came to the DL, Broughton and Collins were asked and their replies were the same – Alex January and Melvin Hills.

Players were not forced to talk about their position group. For example, Makuba, a safety, responded with Ryan Wingo. So singling out both January and Hills got me excited. I've heard in the back ground about their play in practices and in games. January was good enough that Texas felt comfortable putting him in the line up during the playoffs. And Hills has been dominant at times in practices.

Golden named Aaron Butler, which goes along with what I've heard about Butler. Kid is supposed to be a player. And he has wheels and smarts. I look forward to seeing him this year at WR.
