Overview
Despite his experience in-line and willingness to block in Jimbo Fisher's offense, he has neither the size nor strength to handle those duties as a pro. Sternberger is athletic with above-average ball skills, catch radius and route breaks that help him undercover on the second and third level. His paychecks will be tied to his pass-catching so he'll need to play stronger through route contact and with better focus when contested. He has eventual starter potential as a move tight-end who can function as a big WR3/4 from the slot
LMAO.....clueless much?
Bruglar Draft guide
COMBINE 6040 251 32 1/8 09 3/4 77 1/4 4.75 2.82 1.70 31 1/2 09’05” 4.31 7.19 17 PRO DAY N/A (stood on Combine numbers; positional drills only)
STRENGTHS: Fleet of foot athlete...uses a swift release to quickly accelerate into his routes...strong to the football and finishes in crowded windows...comfortable working the middle of the field and skinny posts...highly competitive as a ball carrier and keeps his legs churning at contact, not going down easily...big-play threat due to his seam and YAC skills (six catches of 30-plus yards in 2018)...productive when the field shrinks, scoring five of his FBS-best 10 touchdowns in the red zone...willing blocker, using leverage and a hard shoulder...coaches speak highly of his work ethic and conditioning habits...highly productive 2018 season, including the school record for touchdown catches by a tight end (only the second FBS TE over the last decade with 17.3-plus yards per reception and 10-plus touchdowns in a season).
WEAKNESSES: Lean-muscled player and lacks ideal bulk...allows the ball to get on top of him at times...not a detailed route runner at this point in his development...inconsistent sink and snap when attempting to leverage route breaks...late to cut off rushers as an inline blocker...hands land wide, leading to off- balance reps at the point of attack...only one season of top-level production in college.
SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Texas A&M, Sternberger quickly emerged as the centerpiece of the Aggies’ passing game, lining up split out, wing or inline. Despite only one season in College Station, he is one of the most productive tight ends in school history, setting the single-season records for receiving yards and touchdown catches. With his athleticism and toughness, Sternberger offers tremendous YAC and down-the-seam value, recording at least one 20-plus yard catch in 12 of 13 games in 2018 (44 percent of his catches resulted in a 20-plus yard play). He is a work-in-progress as both a route runner and blocker and his NFL ceiling will be closely tied to his development in both areas. Overall, Sternberger is a vertical pass-catching target with the athleticism and warrior toughness to be a mismatch weapon, projecting as an NFL joker tight end.
GRADE: 3rd Round (#87 overall)
