Sonny Styles: Top NFL Draft Prospect

0:00On March 26, Sunny Styles is generating massive buzz as one of the top linebacker prospects in this year's NFL Draft. His standout performance at the Combine has scouts comparing him to all pro-Fred Warner and projections have him going somewhere in the top seven, picks. Several teams early in the first round are eyeing him closely. He's already met with the New York Jets, who might grab him as high as second overall and he has visits lined up with the Washington commanders and Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys picked 12, so they'd likely need to trade up for a shot at Styles, but his skills could transform their defense right away. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals, sitting at 10th, are also in the mix and just a couple hours from his Ohio hometown. Styles sounds especially pumped about the Bengals trip, calling it a homecoming of sorts since he's an Ohio native. Their defense desperately needs young talent, especially with big contracts tying up cap space for stars like Joe Burrow and his top receivers.

1:01Even with recent spending of $125 million on defensive players, the Bengals could move up for an elite prospect like Styles, who projects as an instant starter. Eyes will be on these visits as draft day nears to see where this rising star lands. NFL news today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on game day. I'm Corey with The Story.
