Lions Rookie Isaac TeSlaa Says Amon‑Ra St. Brown Pulled $41,000 Rookie-Dinner Bill Prank

The third-round pick told MLive the receivers’ tradition at Detroit’s Sexy Steak doubled as a bonding moment during a rookie season that finished with 239 yards and six touchdowns.

Overview

  • TeSlaa recounted that St. Brown staged a fake $41,000 tab before the servers returned with the real bill of about $4,000.
  • The dinner came before Detroit’s regular-season finale against Chicago, following the custom that rookies cover the receivers’ group meal.

  • MLive published TeSlaa’s account on Jan. 7, which was then picked up by outlets including Bleacher Report and Heavy.
  • A 2025 third-rounder (70th overall), TeSlaa grew into a larger role late, finishing with 239 receiving yards and six touchdowns, four over the final six games.
