Ohio State LB Sonny Styles Shines at Combine, Projected Top-10 NFL Draft Pick

Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, a projected top-10 NFL Draft pick, impressed at the Combine with world-class athleticism, including a 43.5-inch vertical and 4.46-second 40-yard dash. His former coach, James Laurinaitis, lauded his smarts, processing ability, and "uncanny sense" for plays, calling him an "elite cover linebacker." Styles, who transitioned from safety, recorded 182 tackles, 7 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles in two seasons at linebacker, with Laurinaitis noting he's "not a fully formed guy yet, which I think is very scary."
