Sterns is a squatty, compact slot target who mitigates his lack of size and speed with an extreme level of toughness. The productivity is impressive, but his play strength, hands and willingness to work into the teeth of the defense will really stand out to evaluators. He's not sudden enough to create consistent separation out of breaks and might be forced into a lot of contested catches because of it. Sterns profiles as a late-round pick or undrafted free agent but the right team/scheme could give him an outside shot.
