Packers TE Jace Sternberger excited for new opportunities in 2020

Now that the Jimmy Graham experiment is over in Green Bay, Jace Sternberger will likely be expected to step up and become the Packers’ top receiving option at tight end during the 2020 season.

A third-round pick in 2019, Sternberger suffered an ankle injury in a preseason matchup against the Kansas City Cheifs and was forced to miss eight games in his rookie year. He returned in Week 9, and although he didn’t make a huge impact, Sternberger still showed promise. In 2020, the former Texas A&M tight end will look to make the leap from barley targeted rookie to established pass-catcher.
