Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Anthony Barr
Summary

Sonny Styles is a big off-ball linebacker who transitioned down from safety. His brother, Lorenzo Jr., is in this class, and his father, Lorenzo Sr., played in the NFL, so the bloodlines run deep. Styles has the athleticism to play in space and the size to operate in the box. He projects as a Day 1 starter.
