    Lions signed No. 70 overall pick Isaac TeSlaa to a four-year contract.
    It was a surprise to see the Lions move up to draft a player that wasn’t expected to be drafted until late in Day 3, but the Lions like what the Lions like. The 6-foot-4 wideout is expected to contribute on special teams, but with his size and athleticism, it’s not completely out of the question that he’ll see some time in the loaded Lions’ offense.

    DetroitLions.com’s Tim Twentyman believes rookie WR Isaac TeSlaa “could make his earliest impact on special teams.”
    It’s not much of a surprise, as most rookies cut their teeth with special teams duties. Twentyman mentioned return duties as a possibility, though the former Razorback never returned kicks or punts in college. At 6'4/212 with 4.43 wheels, TeSlaa is an explosive athlete who never translated his physical traits to on-field production at Arkansas. The Lions clearly saw potential for him to do so in the pros and traded two future third-round picks to move up to No. 70 overall for him. It’s going to be a slow burn for TeSlaa in the pros, making him a dynasty-only fantasy option.
  • DET Wide Receiver
    Lions traded up with the Jaguars to select Arkansas WR Isaac TeSlaa with the No. 70 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
    The Lions gave up two third-round picks to move up for their guy. TeSlaa (6’4/214) is a big-bodied receiver who boasts 4.43 speed, but has just two years of average production to show at the FBS level. Before transferring to Arkansas for the 2023 season, TeSlaa spent three seasons at Hillsdale College, a D2 program. In those three seasons, TeSlaa caught 118 passes for 2,116 yards and 20 touchdowns while averaging 17.9 YPR. While his career numbers at Arkansas won’t blow anybody away (62-883-5 in 25 games), TeSlaa impressed at this year’s Senior Bowl and boosted his stock amongst scouts and coaches. His size makes him a matchup nightmare for most corners and gives him an immediate advantage on contested targets (54.5 career contested catch rate.) It’s also worth noting PFF never attributed a drop to TeSlaa on any of the 100 targets he saw come his way. TeSlaa profiles as a big slot player at the pro level after seeing a 79 percent slot rate last season, but his far from a finished product after just two seasons of D1 play. He’ll be an intriguing developmental for the Lions but doesn’t project for much of a role in year one.
