The Green Bay Packers were well represented on the inaugural All-UFL team. Three former Packers were honored on the 2024 all-league roster: tight end Jace Sternberger, offensive guard Zack Johnson and edge rusher Chris Odom.
Sternberger, a third-round pick of the Packers in 2019, caught 25 passes for 454 yards and four scores in 10 games for the Birmingham Stallions. He averaged 18.2 yards per catch, the second-highest average for a player with 10 or more catches, and his 454 receiving yards were sixth among all UFL players.
Johnson was undrafted out of North Dakota State before spending time with the Packers in the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Behind Johnson, the Stallions finished first in the UFL in rushing yards, average rushing, total offense and scoring offense.
Odom produced eight tackles for a loss and 5.0 sacks for the Houston Roughnecks. He finished fourth in the UFL in tackles for loss and sixth in sacks. Odom, an undrafted free agent, spent the 2017 season with the Packers.
Last year, Sternberger was named to the All-USFL team. In 2022, Odom was the USFL Defensive Player of the Year. The XFL and USFL have merged to create the UFL for the 2024 season.
Although they were not awarded all-league honors, other former Packers who appeared during the UFL’s inaugural season included quarterback Danny Etling, quarterback Manny Wilkins, quarterback Sal Cannela, receiver Darrius Shepherd, receiver Amari Rodgers, tight end Alize Mack, kicker J.J. Molson and kicker Ramiz Ahmed.
All-UFL kicker Jake Moody was invited by the Packers for a visit.
The Stallions (Sternberger and Johnson) will face the San Antonio Brahmas in the UFL Championship. The match will take place on Sunday, June 16 and will be broadcast on FOX from 4:00 p.m. Polish time.
