Giants Eye Ohio State Off‑Ball Linebacker Sonny Styles

John Harbaugh highlighted the importance of an inside linebacker for stopping the run and said he would consider a player like Sonny Styles, an Ohio State convert from safety, when the Giants pick fifth in the 2026 draft. Harbaugh noted that positional value is evolving but that a strong run defense is a priority for the team.

General manager Joe Schoen echoed Harbaugh’s focus on the run game, stating the Giants have struggled in that area and will target improvements in the offseason. Styles, 6‑3¾ and 243 pounds, is ranked No. 7 on the Sports Info Solutions big board and is praised for his athleticism, coverage skills and run‑tackling ability.
