Saints' Speedster Styles: Raw Talent & Rehab

0:00On April 26, the New Orleans Saints love prospects with elite athletic scores and their fifth round pick in 2026, Lorenzo Styles. Junior from Ohio State fits that mold perfectly. This dude clocked a scorching 4.27 in the 40 yard dash at the combine, putting up one of the top relative athletic scores in his group. That run came with a catch though. He was dealing with a labor injury in his shoulder that needed surgery this spring. Styles admitted it mess with his arm swing and form during the test, making it even more impressive that he hit that speed anyway. Saints fans and scouts are buzzing because the team has a track record of betting big on these speed demons and Styles' straight line quickness. Screams gained change of potential on the field. His play speed could translate right away once he's healthy. Now he's grinding through rehab and all eyes will be on him in training camp to see how he stacks up in drills and preseason action. If he builds on that raw talent, he might just carve out a real role in the secondary this season.
