Sonny Styles Stuns at NFL Combine with Historic Performance

Styles, 21, measured 6‑ft‑5 and 244 lbs, posted the best athletic score among linebackers with a 92 rating. His 43.5‑inch vertical was just 1.5 inches shy of the all‑time record and the only 240‑lb+ player to clear 43 inches since 2003. The 11‑ft‑2‑inch broad jump ranks fourth among linebackers since 1999, and his 4.46 40‑yard dash tied for the fastest time of the day.

The former safety, who reclassified in high school, is projected to go No. 12 in the draft, with the Cowboys as a top pick. A son of former Buckeyes linebacker Lorenzo Styles Sr., he brings a family legacy of NFL experience.
