Ahead of the release of the 2025 NFL schedule, the Detroit Lions got Miles Frazier, Ahmed Hassanein, Dan Jackson, and Dominic Lovett signed to their rookie deals.

On Monday, after he spent the weekend showing off at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere, the Lions have signed third-round pick Isaac TeSlaa to his rookie deal per the rookie's Instagram.

The Lions traded three third-round picks to move up for TeSlaa on day two of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he is expected to be a big part of the Lions' offense. So far, the word out of Lions' rookie min-camp has been positive.

#Lions WR coach Scottie Montgomery asked what he's seen from Isaac TeSlaa in rookie minicamp...

"What you saw is a guy that definitely belonged...he's exactly what we thought he was.

In terms of what we've seen from the Lions, they're a bit ahead of schedule. Last year, they signed day two pick Ennis Rakestraw on May 31st. This year it's May 19th.

There may be a reason for that, as the Lions have canceled mandatory mini-camp and plan to start training camp early due to playing in the Hall of Fame game this year. We'll see soon enough if the Lions can get Tyleik Williams and Tate Ratledge signed to their rookie deals ahead of that early start.
