As touched on in the Dawson Knox NFL Draft prospect profile here on RotoExperts, drafting and profiling tight ends is tricky business. Jace Sternberger is no exception to this rule. Outside of Noah Fant and T.J Hockenson, I am not positive that any of the tight ends in this draft class will be long-term NFL starters or even role players. Sternberger's interesting path to the NFL makes him a particularly difficult prospect to evaluate.
Jace Sternberger played in only one season at Kansas University after redshirting his freshman year. The Jayhawks are terrible on offense and barely throw to their tight end so it is reasonable that after two seasons of wasted potential, Sternberger transferred out to a junior college.
