This is now the sixth USFL player to sign with an NFL team. WR Deon Cain has still not officially signed with anyone yet, but he will be the seventh. Of the six to sign so far, five of them have been from the camp of the Stallions.
Jace Sternberger had a lot to prove in the USFL this year. The former third round pick for the Green Bay Packers was seen as one of the top athletes to join the league. He didn’t disappoint.

What a throw, what a catch. Alex McGough to Jace Sternberger has been one of the top connections in the #USFL this season, and another score for the duo gives the @USFLStallions a halftime lead.

During the season, MVP Alex McGough spoke about how important Sternberger was to the Birmingham Stallions. His ability to be in the right place at the right time was key to the unit’s success.
Davion Davis (437yds) and Jace Sternberger (375yds) have been clutch & valuable weapons for Alex McGough in the #USFL this year.
