Giants Eye Off‑Ball Linebacker Sonny Styles at Combine

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Giants head coach John Harbaugh met Ohio State off‑ball linebacker Sonny Styles, describing the encounter as “awesome.” Styles, a 6‑ft‑3¾, 243‑lb converted safety, is ranked No. 7 on the Sports Info Solutions big board and is praised for his athleticism, coverage skills and run‑tackling ability.

Harbaugh emphasized the importance of an inside linebacker to stop the run, noting that the Giants have struggled in that area. General manager Joe Schoen echoed the priority, saying the team will focus on improving run defense in the offseason. With the 2026 draft’s No. 5 pick on the table, Styles could be a candidate to address that need.
