Mond’s career began with the Minnesota Vikings. He was selected No. 66 overall in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Vikings.
As a rookie, Mond appeared in 1 regular-season game for Minnesota. He was 2-of-3 passing for 5 yards. The Vikings waived Mond during final roster cuts ahead of the 2022 season.
The Cleveland Browns picked up Mond for 2022. He did not make a regular-season appearance with the Browns and was released before the 2023 season.
The Colts are 3-2 on the season and face division rival Jacksonville on the road in Week 6.
