The Detroit Lions took a break from adding to their trenches to trade up and acquire Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. TeSlaa, who grew up in Hudsonville, Michigan, will now get a chance to play for the team he has watched since he was a kid.
“I don’t know if I have the words right now,” TeSlaa told the media following being selected by the Lions. “I’m still processing it right now. Obviously, it’s been not only a dream to play in the NFL but to play for my hometown team, the team I’ve rooted for since I’ve been a baby – it’s just an incredible feeling.
