During the NFL Scouting Combine, Giants head coach John Harbaugh met with Ohio State off‑ball linebacker Sonny Styles, describing the encounter as “awesome.” Harbaugh highlighted the importance of an inside linebacker for stopping the run, a weakness the Giants have struggled with in recent seasons.
General manager Joe Schoen echoed Harbaugh’s priority to strengthen the run defense, noting that the team will consider a high draft pick for a player like Styles. The 6‑ft‑3¾, 243‑lb. former safety is ranked No. 7 on the Sports Info Solutions big board and is seen as a promising fit for the Giants’ defensive scheme.
