Sonny Styles a Fit for Giants' Run Defense

During the NFL Scouting Combine, Giants head coach John Harbaugh met with Ohio State off‑ball linebacker Sonny Styles and called the encounter "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, saying the team will focus on improving run defense in the offseason. Styles, a 6‑foot‑3¾, 243‑pound converted safety, is ranked No. 7 on the Sports Info Solutions big board and is considered a top prospect for the 2026 draft, potentially at the fifth overall pick.
