The Hall of Fame Game provided a great opportunity for the Detroit Lions to give their 2025 rookie class some extra experience on the field. In the Thursday night matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers, several first-year players made strong impressions.
Rookie receivers Dominic Lovett and Isaac TeSlaa both had strong showings in the first half of the game.
Lovett, one of Detroit’s seventh-round picks, dropped his first target of the game on a pass from Kyle Allen on second-and-18 that would have converted for a first down. The rookie later redeemed himself by bringing in five receptions for 31 yards over the rest of the half.
