Isaac TeSlaa

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
2025 Fantasy Outlook
TeSlaa was a surprise third-round pick in April, going 70th overall after putting up just 896 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 25 games at Arkansas over the past two years. He's on the old side for his draft class, having turned 23 in February, but the Lions apparently think his raw athleticism may eventually amount to something. TeSlaa boosted his draft stock considerably at the 2025 Combine, running a 4.43 40 at 6-foot-4, 214, while ranking first among WRs in the shuttle drill (4.05 seconds), fourth in the vertical jump (39.5 inch) and sixth in the broad jump (129 inches). The combination of size and athleticism bodes well for a future on special teams, if nothing else, but it'll be surprising if TeSlaa moves ahead of Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond for the No. 3 WR job in Detroit as a rookie.

Makes impact with both catches

TeSlaa brought in two of three targets for 46 yards during the Lions' 34-7 preseason loss to the Chargers in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.
ANALYSIS
The rookie third-round pick flashed with both of his receptions, which came on consecutive plays during the Lions' third possession. TeSlaa recorded catches of 24 and 22 yards over the middle from Kyle Allen, flashing the speed and athleticism that prompted the Lions to make a somewhat controversial trade up in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft to select him. The Arkansas product is looking to make a case for a reliable reserve role in a talented receiving corps, and he should have plenty more opportunities to showcase his acclimation to the NFL game during upcoming preseason contests.

April 30, 2025
TeSlaa, whom the Lions selected out of Arkansas in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, was general manager Brad Holmes' favorite wide receiver in the draft class, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Lions aggressively moved up from the 102nd overall pick to No. 70 to acquire TeSlaa, who stood out for his stellar testing at the NFL Combine at 6-foot-4 and 214 pounds. TeSlaa, who transferred to Arkansas from Hillsdale College for the final two years of his college tenure, caught just 62 passes for 897 yards with the Razorbacks, but Holmes and his scouts had a very high opinion of his potential.
