Lions Isaac TeSlaa Rookie Season Stat Prediction

The Detroit Lions injected some youth into their wide receivers room this past April with the selection of Isaac TeSlaa in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Detroit executed a draft-day deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars to acquire TeSlaa, trading up 32 spots from No. 102 overall to No. 70 overall to select the Arkansas wideout.

TeSlaa joins a talented Lions receivers group, led by the trio of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick.  

A Hudsonville, Mich., native who played for three seasons at Hillsdale College before transferring to Arkansas, TeSlaa received mostly Day 3 grades from draft pundits during the pre-draft process.

The Razorbacks product, checking in at 6-foot-4, 214 pounds, possesses prototypical NFL playing size, and is a reliable pass-catcher who excels playing in the slot. 

He saw his stock rise after a strong performance at the Senior Bowl. Plus, he recorded some solid numbers at the NFL combine, including a 4.43-second 40-yard dash.
