Isaac TeSlaa makes unbelievable TD catch in first-ever NFL game
Published:
Former Arkansas receiver Isaac TeSlaa is off to a great start in his NFL career.
After breaking out for the Detroit Lions during preseason, TeSlaa scored a remarkable touchdown during his regular-season debut against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon.
Although his one-handed grab was initially ruled incomplete, replay officials overturned that decision and awarded TeSlaa with a touchdown.
Here’s a look at his unbelievable catch:

That was TeSlaa’s only reception of the afternoon. However, it’s possible that play will earn him a bit more time in Detroit’s offense moving forward. The Lions ultimately fell to the Packers 27-13 on Sunday, but Detroit is still expected to have a playoff-calibre team this season.
TeSlaa’s rise has been something of a surprise this offseason considering his lack of production at Arkansas. He caught just 5 touchdown passes across 25 career games with the Razorbacks.
A strong NFL combine performance resulted in TeSlaa becoming a Day 2 draft pick by the Lions. It’s still early, but it seems his elite athleticism is translating at the NFL level.
