2026 Projections
Lands with Commanders
The Commanders selected Styles in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, seventh overall.
ANALYSIS
Styles (6-foot-5, 244 pounds) is a remarkable athlete even by Ohio State standards, boasting a frame massive by linebacker standards yet the easy, gliding athleticism of a cornerback (4.46-second 40-yard dash, 43.5-inch vertical jump). He might be a slight tweener in that he looks like a brute yet plays a game closer to a finesse style type, but there is almost certainly plenty of ways Styles can help the Washington defense. Styles has a history of playing both safety and linebacker, which highlights his rare upside in coverage especially. The versatile defender can probably offer the Commanders quality reps from linebacker, rover and even nickel corner spots.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shook mocks to Giants
Nick Shook of NFL.com envisions Styles being selected by the Giants with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Styles, out of Ohio State, created plenty of draft buzz with his 4.49 40-yard dash and 43.5-inch vertical at the NFL Combine in February. Shook suggests that the Giants won't be able to pass him up when their turn comes up despite having added Tremaine Edmunds in free agency, as Styles' elite talent and physical ability will be "too strong to pass up."
