"They viewed him as this freak athlete in the beginning. To see him progress from this kid who was used as a specialty player, to jump into a linebacker role that can be rangy and a great tackling machine, as good of a leader as he is... the progression is there, and I think if you're Washington, the ceiling is unmatched."
"Styles is praised for his ability to move with quickness and precision from sideline to sideline, and more importantly, his on-field leadership and football IQ."
The Washington Commanders selected linebacker Sonny Styles in the 2026 NFL Draft, addressing their last-place defense from the previous season. General manager Adam Peters made various free agency moves but Styles stands out as a potential star. Having played linebacker for only two years, Styles has shown significant improvement and is recognized for his athleticism, leadership, and football IQ. His ability to communicate effectively on the field makes him a valuable asset for the Commanders as they build their defense around him.
