Former Packers TE Jace Sternberger currently leads USFL in receiving touchdowns

Former Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger is enjoying a career resurgence as a standout pass-catcher for the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL.

In fact, after nine games, Sternberger leads the entire league in receiving touchdowns with six, and he’s one of only three players with at least five receiving touchdowns so far in 2023.

Overall, Sternberger ranks 10th among all USFL players with 29 catches and sixth with 433 receiving yards.

Birmingham is currently 7-2 and leading their division.

The Packers’ 2019 third-round pick started fast with touchdowns in each of his first three games in 2023 and then caught fire again recently, scoring touchdowns in each of the last three games.
