Sterns had a season not seen since the likes of Calvin Johnson. However unlike Megetron, Sterns is being labeled undersized because if his size. Sterns will not be an X receiver at the NFL level, yet his size is perfect for a slot or flanker as a pro.
Sterns has great hands, only dropping 3 catchable passes this season. He's the next level security blanket. He's also an ideal route runner. He's fast but he doesn't have the speed one wants in a burner but he's got the quickness and agility one again wants from a slot or flanker in today's NFL and teams will have to worry about him on every blade of grass.
Sterns is explosive with the ball and knows how to get yards after the catch and he knows how to get separation. He just seems to know where to be. He's another small guy who fights for contested catches and has no issues going across the middle. He has that squirrely menatality.
His blocking isn't that great and he needs to develop some techniques better suited for his size in that department. Anyone looking for N'keal Harry type blocking production are going to be gravely disappointed.
Reports compare him to Cole Beasley, slot receiver from Buffalo and Brandon Cooks from Houston. Some reports said he was a miss in scouting by NCAA teams and thus his college career suffered. Sterns is an "air raid" receiver but that shouldn't be a problem. With a good combine he could see himself being drafted in the third but round five seems like a good place. Arizona or New England are two teams that he seems like a good fit for.
