Devante Bond

Despite missing the entirety of his rookie campaign with a hamstring injury, Bond entered camp as the first-team strongside linebacker, and he's managed to hold off the challenge of rookie Kendell Beckwith thus far. Bond compiled a modest 73 tackles (46 solo), including 11 for loss, three sacks, two passes defensed, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble over 19 games in two seasons at Oklahoma after being rated a three-star junior college recruit, so he does carry some pedigree. However, last season's starting SAM 'backer, Daryl Smith, recorded a career-low 35 tackles in this same scheme, as Mike linebacker Kwon Alexander monopolized a large portion of the stops for the position group. Therefore, Bond's IDP value is murky at best heading into what will essentially be his rookie season, especially because a starting job isn't guaranteed.
