Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has been a touchdown machine this preseason.
For the third time in three weeks, TeSlaa scored a touchdown in the first quarter of the preseason Week 3 game against the Houston Texans.
The play came on a beautiful deep ball from backup quarterback Kyle Allen, who also continues to put together a stellar preseason that has him in line to win the backup quarterback competition over fellow backup Hendon Hooker.
After reeling in the catch, TeSlaa celebrated by busting out The Worm.

TeSlaa has had himself quite the offseason and is making a strong case he should have a significant role with the Lions early on.
"He started to catch up and he's started to understand the physicality it takes," Jared Goff said earlier this offseason, according to Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. "He certainly has a chance to have a role in our offense and has done a great job getting better every day."
A third-round pick, TeSlaa flew under the radar before the Lions drafted him, but he is already looking like quite the selection by general manager Brad Holmes.
The Michigan native could siphon off some of snaps from veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick, who has had a quiet offseason while the rookie has shined.
