Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa is quickly learning that life in the NFL comes with more than just playbooks and practice reps — it also comes with unforgettable pranks, especially when Amon-Ra St. Brown is involved.
During a recent appearance, TeSlaa shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes story from a team dinner that perfectly captures St. Brown’s personality and the close-knit culture inside the Lions locker room.
The Steakhouse Setup
According to TeSlaa, the prank took place during a team outing at a high-end steakhouse — the kind of place where the menu doesn’t list prices and the bill can get serious fast.
That’s when Amon-Ra saw his opening.
While TeSlaa was enjoying the night, St. Brown quietly worked behind the scenes, convincing teammates to order extra sides, premium cuts, and expensive add-ons — all while making it seem like the bill might somehow land on the rookie.
Rookie Panic Sets In
TeSlaa admitted the moment the check started getting bigger, the nerves kicked in. Like many rookies, he wasn’t sure if this was a welcome-to-the-league moment or a financial initiation disguised as dinner.
Meanwhile, Amon-Ra played it cool, letting the tension build as TeSlaa wondered whether his first NFL paycheck was about to disappear in one meal.
The Punchline
Just when it seemed like the prank had gone far enough, St. Brown finally revealed the joke — drawing laughs from the entire table and immediate relief from TeSlaa.
Veterans quickly stepped in to make sure the rookie wasn’t actually stuck with the massive bill, turning the moment into a bonding experience rather than a true initiation.
Why This Story Matters
Beyond the laughs, the prank highlights something important about the Detroit Lions’ locker room culture. There’s accountability, competition, and high expectations — but there’s also genuine camaraderie.
Amon-Ra St. Brown is known league-wide for his intensity and work ethic, but stories like this show another side of him — a leader who knows how to keep things light and bring teammates together.
For a young player like TeSlaa, moments like these help ease the transition to the NFL and reinforce the family-like atmosphere Dan Campbell has built.
A Sign of a Tight Locker Room
The Lions’ success hasn’t just been about talent. It’s been about chemistry. From star players down to rookies, the team’s bond continues to stand out — and stories like this one explain why.
TeSlaa may have been the target of the prank, but he also earned something more valuable that night — a memory that proves he’s truly part of the group.
