When evaluating players, especially those who are serious NFL draft hopefuls, it’s important not to judge a book by its cover. There might be no better advocate of that mantra than Western Kentucky WRSterns’ profile on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers’ roster page has the receiver as 5-foot-9 and 195 pounds. But when the Texas native showed up in Las Vegas, he measured in at just a hair over 5-foot-7 and 183 pounds.
Along with the move came a jump in competition, but what didn’t change were Kittley’s air-raid offensive scheme and the chemistry between the receiver and his quarterback. Sterns’ senior year was his most dominant one yet. The former Houston Baptist standout receiver tallied 150 receptions for 1,902 yards and 17 touchdowns in his 14 games with the Hilltoppers.
Looking at his tape from senior year, it often looks like defenders would either lose him in coverage or underestimate his speed and quickness given his smaller stature. Then—especially given his chemistry with Zappe—Sterns would get the ball in his hands as soon as the coverage was busted. Once he had the ball, his body strength and control set him up well for big yards after catch potential.
He showed good burst and separation creation with clean cuts and changes in speed at the top of his routes. Sterns was winning his one-on-one matchups all week in Las Vegas, proving that size doesn’t really matter when you’ve got all of the tools that he has.
