DETROIT, May 9, 2025 ~ The Detroit Lions hosted their first day of rookie minicamp at the Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park Friday afternoon. All of the team’s NFL Draft picks were in attendance, including a number of undrafted free agents and try out players.
While the players settle into Detroit and get comfortable with the system, Michigan native and third round wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa shared the excitement he felt from being drafted by his home state team.
“I saw the call from a 313 number and I just about passed out,” TeSlaa told WJR Correspondent Nick Lundberg about the night he was drafted. “It was very surreal, I am grateful to be here.”
