The Lions traded up to select Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in Round 3 of the NFL Draft - a clear sign they were determined to get their guy. A 6-foot-4, 214-pound athletic marvel, TeSlaa tested in the 88th percentile or better in the vertical jump, broad jump, and 20-yard shuttle, while also flashing 4.43 speed. Despite modest counting stats in the SEC, he was extremely efficient. TeSlaa posted the fourth-highest passer rating when targeted (145.5) in the FBS last year and earned a perfect rating on targets of 20+ air yards - a testament to his big-play ability. While immediate target volume may be tough to come by in Detroit's loaded offense, he's one injury away from stepping into a sizable role.
