Sonny Styles Stuns at NFL Combine with Historic Vertical

At the NFL Combine, Styles posted a 43.5‑inch vertical, the highest for a player over 240 lbs since 2003, and an 11‑ft 2‑in broad jump, ranking fourth among linebackers since 1999. His 4.46‑second 40‑yard dash tied for the best time of the day, and he earned a 92 athletic score, the highest among linebackers.

The 21‑year‑old, 6‑ft‑5, 244‑lb former safety and Ohio State linebacker, is projected No. 12 overall by the Cowboys in Yahoo Sports' mock draft. A son of former Buckeye and NFL linebacker Lorenzo Styles Sr., he reclassified in high school and brings a basketball‑style athleticism to the field.
