Giants Eye Ohio State Off‑Ball Linebacker Sonny Styles

During the NFL Scouting Combine, Giants head coach John Harbaugh met with Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, describing the encounter as "awesome" and noting the player’s potential to address the team's run‑defense weaknesses. Harbaugh emphasized that while positional value matters, a strong inside linebacker is essential for stopping the run, a priority highlighted by GM Joe Schoen.

Styles, a 6‑foot‑3¾, 243‑pound converted safety, ranks seventh on the Sports Info Solutions big board and is praised for his athleticism, coverage skills, and run‑tackling ability. The Giants are considering him as a possible pick at No. 5 in the 2026 NFL Draft to bolster their defensive front.
