It’s rare to have a football team at any level where the tight end is the most productive weapon in the passing game. Even if the tight end is the best player and better than any wide receiver, tight ends don’t typically rack up the stats that a good wide receiver does. Such was not the case for Texas A&M football in 2019, when Jace Sternberger led all players on the Aggies in catches, yards, touchdowns, and yards per catch.
It was a rare statistical season from a tight end and one that rightfully earned praise, at least from some.
