It's one of the primary reasons I'm more a fan of signing an underwhelming guy coming off a rookie deal because chances are he'll take a big step on his next contract. Tight ends being even average in the NFL during their first 2-3 years is pretty rare. Anyone considering Sternberger anything close to a bust at this point is either ignoring the extensive history of the position or is just speaking from ignorance.He was a flat out terrific receiver in college but I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't a great route runner and that two years of reduced off-season activity have slowed any positive development. Additionally, the Packers receiving group is full of short-to-intermediate targets (which Sternberger is) so it's not like there are tons of opportunities for him until the coaches think he's surpassed either Tonyan or, perhaps, Lazard.</blockquote>
