- Team: Detroit Lions
- Drafted: 2025

2026 Outlook
TeSlaa was dominant in preseason (10 catches, 146 yards, 3 TDs on contested catches) and finished his rookie year with 16 catches, 239 yards, and 6 TDs — third-most on the team. With Kalif Raymond departing and early reports suggesting a notable leap in athleticism and strength in camp, TeSlaa is positioned to move up the depth chart. He'll need targets from new OC Drew Petzing to break out, but the role is there. (per Don't be surprised if these 9 NFL players break out in 2026)
