The Detroit Lions have signed another member of their draft class to a rookie contract.

The former Arkansas Razorback was drafted in the third round, 70th overall. The Lions traded three third-round picks total over this year and next to move up 32 spots and acquire him.

TeSlaa began his collegiate career at Division II Hillsdale in Michigan. After dominating to the tune of 68 catches, 1,325 yards and 13 touchdowns. He then transferred to Arkansas, where he spent the final two seasons of his time in college.

In his time at Arkansas, TeSlaa notched 62 catches for 896 yards and five touchdowns. He spent most of his time as a slot receiver, but is expected to transition more to an outside role for the Lions.

He stood out during rookie minicamp, as the team targeted him often throughout the practice open to media members on May 9.

"I thought he did a really good job for what we were doing," said offensive coordinator John Morton. "It wasn't a lot, but he tried. He's taking from what he learned in the meeting room out and went on the field and he was doing it."

The Lions have now signed five of their seven-player draft class in addition to 11 reported undrafted free agent signings. Among the rookies who remain unsigned are Tyleik Williams and Tate Ratledge.

Detroit begins organized team activities next week, with the first session scheduled for May 28-30 and the second set for June 3-5.
