The Detroit Lions traded a 2025 third-round pick and two 2026 third-round picks in order to select Isaac TeSlaa, a wide receiver out of Arkansas.
TeSlaa is a Michigan native who played collegiately at Hillsdale College before transferring to the SEC. The Lions met with him throughout the pre-draft process and clearly loved him enough to add him to the squad. He has been touted for his elite athleticism and humble attitude at Arkansas and fits the bill of a ‘gritty’ player that Detroit looks for.
I spoke with Arkansas sports beat writer Jackson Fuller, who took the time to answer some questions about TeSlaa so Lions fans can learn more about their new wide receiver.
