Giants Eye Ohio State Off‑Ball Linebacker Sonny Styles

Giants head coach John Harbaugh is impressed with Ohio State off‑ball linebacker Sonny Styles, who met the team at the NFL Combine. The 6‑ft‑3¾, 243‑lb. player could be a top pick in the 2026 draft as New York seeks to fix its run defense.

Harbaugh highlighted the importance of an inside linebacker for stopping the run, noting that the Giants have struggled in that area. He said positional value matters but a good player in the right role is key.

General manager Joe Schoen echoed the priority of improving run defense, and Styles, ranked 7th by Sports Info Solutions, is seen as a promising off‑ball linebacker with coverage and run‑tackling skills.
