Excellent separation against ManCover. This is Reception Perception The Show.

**James Koh** (0:15)
Yo, what's cracking, everybody? James Koh, Matt Harmon here with you. You're listening to Reception Perception The Show. All right. Beautiful rundown in front of us here today, Matt. We're going to be talking about Isaac TeSlaa, Torrey Horton, Kyle Williams. Guys that I thought really flashed some serious, serious potential last year. But man, they go into 2026 with a very, very murky outlook.

**Matt Harmon** (0:41)
Yeah. All guys that I would agree with you are, or they showed something like on a sliding scale, right? It kind of depends. I would say Horton probably showed the most complete game and the best flashes.
Now we'll talk about Isaac TeSlaa. He showed like the coolest flashes, right? Like in terms of the best highlight reel potentially in the NFL. And then definitely Kyle Williams, like you saw glimpses of it, but they were very few and far in between. And I would agree with your kind of categorization there is these are three guys that I posted profiles on Friday. These guys all went up to kind of complete the current year two drop, moving on to year three receivers. Now those guys will be up on June 1st. And it was an interesting just kind of round up of players, guys that, yeah, these are all, I would say all three of these guys. And the other two that I posted, Pat Bryan and Ellic Iowamanner again, to varying degrees, all look like it could be contributing quality receivers and NFL receiver rooms. But these are the type of guys where I think these are the most, these are the ones that are most at risk. Kind of James of the thing I keep talking about, which is that there's too many good receivers in the NFL. And there's too many good receivers coming into the NFL every single year. I mean, shoot, again, he's not on the rundown today, but Pat Bryant, like, at the end of this season, it's like, oh, wow, yeah, he's showing a little something. Could be the kind of number two receiver in Devon. Then they trade for Jalen Waddle. It's like, all right, how many targets is Pat Bryant going to get? And that's true, definitely, of all three of these guys we're talking about today.

**James Koh** (2:11)
For sure. And we'll start with Isaac TeSlaa, because as you mentioned, his highlight package is incredible. If you just watched his highlights on YouTube, amazing stuff. You know, we're talking one-handed grab, a lot of touchdown grabs for Tesla down the field. 55.6% success rate versus man, not good. 77% success rate versus zone, again, not good, but I think there's a reason for that. And then 66.7% success rate versus press.
Again, I think we're approaching average here, but still we got some room. So I think overall, it looks like the profile for Isaac TeSlaa is a guy who is still a work-in-progress, which is to be expected for a receiver who was expected to be a work-in-progress.

**Matt Harmon** (2:58)
Yeah, he was expected to be a developmental guy. If you did not follow us during the draft process, did not follow kind of my, what was a little bit of like, kind of became a weird obsession with Isaac TeSlaa because he was such an interesting prospect with all of these awesome athletic traits.
But just no college production whatsoever, nothing really to speak of. As a matter of fact, he was not even the most productive receiver on his Arkansas team that was in last year's draft class. I was actually Andrew Armstrong, who was a player I liked the film on, but was 25 years old and led the SEC in receiving. So it wasn't that there was no production to be had. Like I said, Andrew Armstrong led the SEC in receiving that year and that Isaac TeSlaa, not involved whatsoever, but he tore it up at Hillsdale College, which is where he transferred in from.

**James Koh** (3:57)
Great athlete.

**Matt Harmon** (3:58)
But an incredible athlete. Like you look at some of the athletic comparables, it was like Javon Walker, Roma Dunze, Allen Robinson, these like big, big hulking X receivers, right? Like that's who he kind of compared to.
But then again, he was used as a, like a big slot player at Arkansas in his Reception Perception profile.
And that was really what was interesting. So 68.7%, excuse me, 70% snaps in the slot in his Prospect profile was off the line on 70%, which just made it even then more interesting that the Lions traded multiple future picks to go get him in last year's draft in the third round, which like I liked Isaac TeSlaa as a prospect, but even that was ahead of where I would have kind of had him. So they make this big bet on him. We joked about it after the draft. James, like, is this guy there? Tush push special? Like, what is this? Because he was like a quarterback in high school. Is he there? Taysom Hill? You know, like, what's going on here? A little bit, again, a little bit tongue in cheek, obviously, on that because clearly he's an interesting developmental receiver. But he goes to this team in Detroit that he was used as a big slot in college. And they already had a guy who, you know, is one of the better slots in the league. And I'm on the same ground, so a very interesting pick by Detroit. So that's like the background on TeSlaa as a prospect of what I think makes him so interesting, which we'll kind of hang in the background here of our discussion about him as his year two coming in here and what he did in year one from a Reception Perception standpoint.
