Former 2019 third-round draft pick Jace Sternberger has signed with the USFL team Birmingham Stallions. Throughout his time with the Packers, Sternberger only accumlated 12 receptions for 114 yards and one touchdown across three seasons. He was a good prospect coming out of college. In his last season with Texas A&M, Sternberger was named a first-team All-SEC selection, and received first-team All-American honors as well.

After fighting to make 53-man rosters in 2021 and 2022, Sternberger has decided to take his talents to the USFL. The Birmingham Stallions are a professional American football team based in Birmingham, Alabama. They are one of the eight members of the United States Football League (USFL). They currently play their home games at Protective Stadium located in Birmingham. They won the new USFL’s inaugural championship, defeating the Philadelphia Stars 33–30 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, on July 3, 2022.
