TeSlaa's preseason drop and interception raise concerns about his reliability and volume.

Despite the Lions trading up in the third round to land TeSlaa, the hyperathletic 6-4, 214-pound wideout struggled in the preseason opener against the Bengals, failing to catch any of his three targets. His first target rifled between his hands and bounced off his helmet before falling into the grasp of safety Jordan Battle for an interception. While Lions coach Dan Campbell said TeSlaa would be 'just fine,' it's difficult to envision substantial volume for him in an offense that won't often stray from feeding running back Jahmyr Gibbs, wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and tight end Sam LaPorta.
