Jace Sternberger (Packers)

Sternberger isn’t the most athletic or well-rounded tight end in this year’s rookie class, but he’s going to what may be the best situation for a young pass-catcher to succeed.

Aaron Rodgers has been longing for a player with Sternberger’s receiving ability for many, many years. He’s the kind of quarterback who can make average receivers appear elite, and there’s no reason to believe he can’t do the same for a tight end like Sternberger, who, by the way, possesses an above-average skill set.

If Sternberger earns legitimate reps out of training camp, he could make a strong push to be the most productive rookie tight end in 2019.
