Sonny Styles Stuns at NFL Combine with Historic Workout

At the NFL Combine, Sonny Styles stunned scouts with a 43.5‑inch vertical, the highest for a player over 240 lbs since 2003, and an 11‑ft, 2‑in broad jump that ranks fourth among linebackers since 1999. His 4.46‑second 40‑yard dash tied for the best time of the day, matching former teammate Arvell Reese and Falcons RB Bijan Robinson. The 92‑point athletic score was the highest among all linebackers.

The 6‑ft‑5, 244‑lb former Ohio State safety, who finished the 2025 season with 83 tackles, is projected to be the Cowboys’ No.12 pick in Yahoo Sports’ mock draft. A reclassified high‑schooler, Styles comes from a football family—his father, Lorenzo Sr., won a Super Bowl with the Rams, and his brother Lorenzo Jr. also played at Ohio State.
