"I was talking to Adam Peters about how Sonny Styles would be a perfect fit for the Titans, given how he used Fred Warner. Peters has been around Fred Warner, too. I just didn't think he would be around when it was Washington's turn to pick. A physical presence. A former safety who isn't afraid of contact. He can shoot gaps and isn't afraid to get physical. This is just a great pick."
"Styles has lofty expectations on his shoulders. The Commanders needed an injection of energy and dynamism at the linebacker spot. This could be that with a smooth transition, and it also looks like a good scheme fit for what Washington is going to run on that side of the football."
