Sonny Styles was selected by the Washington Commanders as the seventh overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Adam Peters had contingency plans but was relieved they weren't needed as Styles fell to them.

Head coach Dan Quinn emphasized Styles' unique mindset and work ethic, comparing him to great linebackers. Styles is expected to become a key defensive leader for the team, following the example set by quarterback Jayden Daniels.
