Sonny Styles Shines at NFL Combine

Former Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles turned heads at the NFL combine with historic workout numbers, including a 43.5-inch vertical jump and a 4.46 40-yard dash time.

The 21-year-old prospect, projected as the No. 12 pick by the Cowboys in a recent mock draft, dominated the combine with an estimated athletic score that ranked first among all linebackers. At 6-foot-5 and 244 pounds, Styles' combine performance included a broad jump of 11 feet, 2 inches, which reportedly ranks fourth among linebackers since 1999. Coming from an athletic family with his father Lorenzo Styles Sr. having a six-year NFL career, Styles also has a basketball background that likely contributed to his exceptional leaping ability.
