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.
Kansas City Chiefs Face Grueling 2025 Schedule
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.

Braves expected to activate Ronald Acuña Jr. for Friday’s game against Padres
ATLANTA — After a nearly year-long rehab from knee surgery, Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. is expected to be activated from the injured list and play Friday’s series opener against the San Diego Padres in Atlanta. It’ll be three days shy of the anniversary of a torn left ACL that required season-ending surgery the following week.AdvertisementAcuña was scratched from the lineup for Triple-A Gwinnett’s game Thursday night at Louisville, a strong indication that the Braves planned to activate him.

MLB free agency rankings 2025-26: Is Red Sox’s Alex Bregman destined for big payday if career year continues?
April showers bring May free agency rankings updates.Enough said, you know the drill.Notes: Whenever you see a number, a slash and another number, that’s a reference to contract years and total earnings. For instance, the shorthand for Bryce Harper’s 11-year, $330 million deal would be “11/330.” Ages listed below are for the 2026 season.1. Kyle Tucker, Cubs OF, age 29 (April rank 1)Following a supersonic start to his Cubs tenure, Tucker has slightly cooled off over the past month. The underlying numbers indicate Tucker’s May swoon is just a small blip. He’s still the runaway top free agent for the upcoming class and a lot would have to happen for that to change. There has been no additional extension chatter over the past month between Tucker and the Cubs, increasing the already high likelihood he reaches free agency this winter.2. […]
