COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Arena Football League today announced that Columbus Destroyers offensive specialist Carl Bond has been named the Week 6 Offensive Player of the Week. Bond is the first Destroyers player to win an AFL weekly award since Week 4 of the 2005 season.

Bond had a career game this past weekend against the New York Dragons, as he set career highs in receiving yards with 190 and touchdowns with three. His total offensive production came on just nine receptions. Of the 190 receiving yards and three touchdowns, 142 and all three scores came in the second half of the game.
