Meanwhile, Matthew Golden, Bond's teammate at Texas, posted the fastest time among wide receivers with an official 4.29.Bond told reporters Friday that he would beat Worthy's mark, which the Kansas City Chiefs draft pick set last year. The Texas wide receiver said he would "for sure" post a time of 4.2 or, if he was "feeling great," a 4.1."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."It appears Worthy noticed Bond's bravado, as he had this to say on social media.There’s fast then there’s me.As a junior in high school, Bond won Georgia state titles in the 100-meter and 200. He transferred to Texas from Alabama last offseason, but never overlapped with Worthy. He did, however, replace Worthy as the Longhorns' deep threat, and he finished third on the team with 540 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 14 games.Worthy broke John Ross III's 2017 record time of 4.22 and helped himself move into the 2024 first round before being selected by the then-defending Super Bowl champions.
