Superstar Draft WR Isaiah Bond Visits Chiefs, Admits Mahomes Fandom and Desire to Play in KC

Kansas City, MO – April 5, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs are heating up the 2025 NFL Draft buzz, hosting Texas Longhorns wide receiver Isaiah Bond for a pre-draft visit, sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on April 2. But it’s Bond’s outspoken love for Patrick Mahomes that’s got Chiefs Kingdom fired up—the explosive prospect isn’t hiding his dream to don red and gold.

“I’ve been watching Mahomes since I was a kid—he’s unreal,”

Bond declared at a draft event Thursday, per ESPN. The Georgia native’s got the hype; NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein likens him to Jaylen Waddle, touting his “fluid, fast, untapped” potential. With an 83.1% catch rate, 711 yards, and 3 TDs in 2024—plus 2,377 career yards after catch—he’s a playmaker tailor-made for KC.

“Playing for the Chiefs? That’d be insane,”

He said, eyes gleaming. After a 40-22 Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles, the Chiefs need WR spark. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy lead, Hollywood Brown’s back, but Bond’s agility and YAC knack could outshine Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore in the slot/hybrid role. “He’d feast in our timing game,” an AFC scout noted.

“I’d kill to make it happen,”

Bond added, doubling down. Chiefs Kingdom’s buzzing on X: “Bond’s a Mahomes stan? Sign him up!” one fan tweeted. “Waddle 2.0—Mahomes needs this,” another chimed. With 10 picks in 2025, including extras from a Patriots deal, GM Brett Veach could grab the 5’11” speedster at No. 31 or trade up.

“I’d run through a wall for Patrick,”

Bond grinned, sealing his pitch. At 21, he’s raw—Zierlein says more targets unlock his ceiling—but his Chiefs fandom and “above-average skill” make him a fan favorite. Come April 24-26, Bond’s dream could hit—Mahomes might just land his next big-play star.
