Detroit Lions rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa will fit right in with his hatred of the Green Bay Packers.
We all know that Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hates the Green Bay Packers . He’s even got the shirt to prove it.
It probably comes as no surprise that St. Brown’s newest teammate—third-round pick Isaac TeSlaa—happens to share those same sentiments. TeSlaa, a Michigan native and lifelong Lions fan, shared his hatred of the Packers on the St. Brown Brothers podcast last week while he was in Los Angeles for the NFLPA Rookie Premiere event.
“I hate the Packers with a burning passion,” TeSlaa said with no hesitation.
After that, there was a funny interaction between TeSlaa, Amon-Ra, and his brother Equanimeous. After Equanimeous pointed out that the Packers are his team (his first NFL team; he’s currently unsigned), he then asked TeSlaa what are the chances of getting drafted by your favorite hometown team.
“1 in 32, I think,” TeSlaa deadpanned back to Equanimeous.
Amon-Ra laughed and then turned to his brother.
“You’re right. Fuck, you got me,” Equanimeous replied.
The entire interview is worth watching. While there’s nothing revelatory in the podcast, it is a good look into TeSlaa’s personality. He certainly seemed comfortable and confident, while other rookies may be overwhelmed or intimidated by the stage.
