Sonny Styles Shocks NFL Combine with Historic Performance

At the NFL combine, Styles posted a 43.5‑inch vertical, the highest for a player over 240 lbs since 2003, and an 11‑foot, 2‑inch broad jump, ranking fourth among linebackers since 1999. His 4.46 40‑yard dash tied for the best time of the day, and his 92 athletic score was the top among all linebackers.

The 6‑foot‑5, 244‑lb former Ohio State safety, who finished his college career with 83 tackles, is projected to be the Cowboys’ No.12 pick in Yahoo Sports’ mock draft. A son of former Buckeyes linebacker Lorenzo Styles Sr., he reclassified in high school and brings a family legacy of NFL experience.
