Devante Bond, LB

  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2016–2018)
  • Chicago Bears (2019-2021)
It took Bond's career a while to get going, but the flashes he showed while playing in Norman gave NFL scouts something to think about. He didn't start playing football until his senior year of high school, and then went to Sierra Community College for two years where he was the conference Defensive MVP with 27 tackles for losses, 17 sacks in just 11 games.
