Isaac Teslar, a day-three NFL draft pick now 24 years old, produced only 14 receiving yards per game in his rookie season with 0.87 yards per route run—described as 'unspeakably bad' efficiency. Chris Rodriguez cites this minimal production as reason to avoid Teslar in favor of higher-upside tight end prospects like Kylen Granson, arguing that round-one talent at tight end with a phenomenal athletic profile should not be drafted after Teslar.

Drafted ahead of Kylen Granson; Chris Rodriguez uses Teslaa's earlier selection as evidence that Granson, a round one talent at tight end with a phenomenal athletic profile, is falling in value. Day three NFL draft pick already 24 years old with 14 receiving yards per game in rookie season and 0.87 yards per route run—described as 'unspeakably bad' efficiency; Chris Rodriguez argues against drafting him over round one tight end talent with phenomenal athletic profile.

TeSlaa could be a big key to unleashing a new aspect of the Lions offense under new coordinator Drew Petzing, who likes to run 13 personnel. While the Lions may not have the tight ends to run traditional 13 personnel, similar concepts could be run in 11 personnel with TeSlaa, leveraging the fact that all three starting receivers block well. TeSlaa appears to be impressing Lions coaches with his grasp of the offense, and the outlook is good despite the high-concept, high-difficulty nature of these plays for a young player.

TeSlaa could be a big key to unleashing a new aspect of the Lions offense under new coordinator Drew Petzing, who likes to run 13 personnel. While the Lions can get by without a huge year from the second-year receiver given their other weapons, TeSlaa's potential in running similar concepts with 11 personnel is notable, especially considering how well all three starting receivers block. The source notes that TeSlaa appears to be impressing Lions coaches already with his grasp of the offense, so the outlook is good.

Lions WR was a star of last preseason, tying for the NFL lead with three touchdown catches. He made some highlight plays during his rookie regular season too, but wasn't a high-volume player in the offense, catching six touchdowns on only 16 receptions. The Lions have a crowded offense, and TeSlaa has to do something special to improve his playing time. He should play plenty in the preseason, and he clearly has the ability to star on that stage. If he has another big preseason, it could force the Lions to find ways to get him on the field more with increased targets.

Second-year receiver Isaac TeSlaa has a fair amount of buzz heading into 2026 and has climbed from rank 36 to 19. Dan Campbell praised his consistency and development, saying 'he is just consistent, and where we expected him to be at this point this time for year two is exactly where we want him, and I would say probably even a little bit more' and 'You are impressed. He feels like a veteran right now.' The source notes expectations are relatively high for Detroit's WR3, though he still needs to prove he can live up to that hype.
