Lions rookie Isaac TeSlaa proves he's 'one of us' with his comments about the Packers
Isaac TeSlaa was already an easy player for Lions fans to embrace. After what he said on the latest episode of the "St. Brown Brothers" podcast, even the skeptics are going to smile about the shaggy-haired third-round wideout.
Sitting with new Lions teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown and the All-Pro's brother, Equanimeous, in Los Angeles, TeSlaa is clearly comfortable in his own skin. TeSlaa and the brothers kick off the interview by quickly going over the NFC North division.
"Packers Week 1," TeSlaa says, to which Equanimeous responds, "you probably hate the Packers?"
TeSlaa doesn't sugarcoat it. He leans into the hate he fostered growing up as a Lions fan in the Grand Rapids area.
"I hate the Packers with a burning passion," TeSlaa says matter-of-factly. When Equanimeous says, "you know I'm a Packers guy?", TeSlaa responds with an "I know."
A very amused Amon-Ra laughs at his older brother calling himself a Packers guy, since Equanimeous hasn't played for the Packers since the 2021 season. He was a sixth-round pick by the Packers back in 2018.
The entire interview is worth watching for any Lions fan. It's easy to see the natural chemistry and mutual admiration between the Lions star wideout and his new rookie running mate.
