Former Razorback Isaac TeSlaa drafted 70th overall by Detriot Lions

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa, a projected fourth or fifth-round round pick, has now been selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions.

TeSlaa is the first Razorback off the board and becomes the 290th draft pick in Arkansas Razorback history.

The Hudsonville, Michigan native will return to his home state and play for a Lions team that he grew up a two-and-a-half-hour drive away from.

After transferring from Hillsdale College following the 2022 season, TeSlaa spent his final two seasons with Arkansas, where he caught 62 passes for 897 yards and five touchdowns.

He now joins a Detroit Lions team that is one of the top offenses in the NFL, led by quarterback Jared Goff, who passed for 4,629 and 37 touchdowns last season.
