"Sonny checked all the boxes right away. In terms of the person, the football character, the intelligence. Everything you could want off the field. The leadership. You talk to guys at Ohio State - coaches, his teammates - who revere him as a young man."
"He's an incredible sideline-to-sideline defender. A guy who's for today's NFL. He makes the field smaller. He can blitz, he can cover, he can tackle. He does everything really well, so for us it was a pretty easy decision when he was still on the board."
Sonny Styles fell to the Washington Commanders at No. 7 in the 2026 NFL Draft, a surprising turn of events. General manager Adam Peters confirmed that selecting Styles was an easy decision due to his impressive physical attributes, strong character, and leadership qualities. Coaches and teammates from Ohio State spoke highly of him. Peters emphasized Styles' versatility as a defender, capable of blitzing, covering, and tackling effectively. The Commanders were fortunate to have him available after other top prospects were selected earlier in the draft.
