What It Means:

Sternberger is currently considered the Packers' primary candidate to replace Jimmy Graham after the veteran tight end signed a deal with the Chicago Bears. "That’s one thing that we’ve all discussed, that I will have the opportunity for my role to be bigger," said Sternberger when asked about this season's expectation. "It’s all how I handle it and what I can prove. It goes back to me and this opportunity. I’m just really excited about it, and I’m just definitely ready for it."

Expect Sternberger to be utilized as a secondary pass catcher behind alpha receiver Davante Adams. In eight career games including last postseason, the former third round pick recorded 3 receptions for 15 yards and one touchdown.
