The most disrespectful thing an opposing team can do against the Green Bay Packers at home is pulling off a "Lambeau Leap."

However, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa doesn't care.

The Lambeau Leap is supposed to be reserved for the Packers players who score a touchdown, but TeSlaa told Kay Adams he might do it in Week 1 when the two divisional foes square off at Lambeau Field.

"I think if I can find like a little muddle of Lions fans, which I'm sure the stadium will be half Lions fans anyways, so I'm sure I can find a little pocket," TeSlaa said on Up & Adams.

Adams went on to joke that she believes any player who does the Lambeau Leap should be fined, which made TeSlaa want to do it even more.

"Alright, I'm going to do it just to spite you," TeSlaa replied to Adams.

In 2023, Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown did the Lambeau Leap and was met with a beer shower from a Packers fan.

Not ideal, but a small price to pay for a video clip that has become borderline legendary in the Packers-Lions rivalry.

Of course, TeSlaa will actually have to score a touchdown in his first game in order to pull off the Lambeau Leap in Week 1.

That will prove difficult if he doesn't see the field much, which is certainly possible for the very first regular-season game of his rookie campaign.
