When the Detroit Lions traded up to grab Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa with the 70th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they weren’t just getting one of the most athletic receivers in the class, they were getting someone who bleeds Honolulu Blue.
A Michigan native and lifelong Lions fan, TeSlaa’s connection to the franchise runs deeper than most rookies. And now, just months into his NFL career, he’s already earned the affection of the fanbase.

Isaac TeSlaa embraces Packers hate
TeSlaa’s rise to local stardom took another leap after a recent appearance on the St. Brown Brothers Podcast.

The rookie didn’t just show he knows the NFC North landscape, he showed exactly where he stands when it comes to the Lions’ biggest rival.
Asked by Amon-Ra St. Brown to name the other teams in the division, TeSlaa passed with flying colors.
That’s when Equanimeous St. Brown, a former Packers draft pick, chimed in about the Green Bay rivalry.
Without hesitation, TeSlaa delivered a soundbite that will live in Detroit sports radio for months: “Oh, I hate the Packers, with a burning passion.”
Equanimeous followed up by joking, “You know I’m a Packers guy?” to which TeSlaa replied, “I know.”
The exchange, met with laughter, struck a chord with Lions Nation, who immediately embraced the hometown receiver’s raw honesty and team-first mentality.
It’s not just words that have Lions fans excited.
TeSlaa turned heads leading up to the draft, showcasing his athleticism at the Hula Bowl and Senior Bowl before delivering a standout performance at the NFL Combine.
His 9.93 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) was the highest among all wide receivers in 2025, confirming his elite physical potential.
Despite a loaded Lions receiver room featuring stars like Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and reliable veterans, TeSlaa’s role remains a question mark heading into the season.
Still, with his draft position and passion for the team, it’s clear Detroit hopes to get him involved.
Adding another layer of anticipation? The Lions open their season at Lambeau Field against the Packers.
A breakout performance from TeSlaa in Week 1 would be poetic justice, and a perfect chapter in his already compelling Detroit debut.

Fantasy Football 2025: WR Jaylen Waddle player profile
Jaylen Waddle appeared to be among the league’s best: Waddle’s 2.61 yards per route run from 2022 to 2023 was the third best among wide receivers, behind Tyreek Hill and Justin Jefferson, despite appearing on the injury report more often than not over those seasons. A sharp decline: Waddle consistently finished as a top-36 fantasy wide receiver in at least 70% of his games, until last season when that rate dropped to 26.7%.

Daphne van Domselaar: How crosswords became a vital part of Arsenal’s pre-match preparations
Before Daphne van Domselaar and her team-mates left London for this Saturday’s Women’s Champions League final against Barcelona in Lisbon, there was something vital she had to pack.Her goalkeeper gloves? Her boots? No, much more important for the Arsenal ‘keeper were her crosswords — and a pencil, of course, to ensure things don’t get messy.Advertisement“We have a ritual now of always bringing crosswords on the coach for away games, or if we’re staying over somewhere,” Van Domselaar tells The Athletic days before she and her team-mates have to figure out arguably the toughest puzzle in women’s football: how to beat holders Barcelona in Europe’s showpiece event?“We can’t go to a game without playing crosswords,” the 25-year-old, a self-confessed “bit of a nerd”, adds. The ‘we’ are fellow goalkeeper Naomi Williams and some of Arsenal’s backroom staff.“Even though we always have […]
