The Detroit Lions moved up in the third round to draft a wide receiver, selecting Isaac TeSlaa with the 70th overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
TeSlaa, a Hudsonville native and self-proclaimed Lions fan, played two seasons at Arkansas after beginning his career at Division II Hillsdale.
To get in position to take TeSlaa with Pick No. 70, the Lions dealt their third-round choice (No. 102 overall) and two 2026 third-round picks to the Jaguars in exchange for a sixth-round pick (No. 182 overall) in this year’s draft and another sixth-round choice in 2026.
The Lions snagged former Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams with their first-round choice and then selected Georgia guard Tate Ratledge with the 57th overall selection in Round 2 after swapping picks with the Denver Broncos to move up three slots. Because of that trade, Detroit isn’t scheduled to go on the clock again until the sixth round when the draft resumes Saturday. The Lions will then have three more choices after that — all in the seventh round.
