"The Commanders couldn't stop anyone last season, and linebacker Bobby Wagner appears to be headed elsewhere as a free agent. After a 77-tackle season, [Sonny] Styles posted an incredible 43½-inch vertical jump at the combine, a glimpse into his explosion. Washington needs good ball players, and Styles is just that."
"Styles is an athletic force of nature who wowed analysts at the NFL Scouting Combine. His versatility allows him to line up anywhere on the second level and perhaps even at safety, where he began his college career. He's a great tackler with size and quickness - an impressive combination."
The Washington Commanders conducted extensive free agency spending, addressing defensive line, defensive backfield, and running back positions. However, linebacker remains a potential area of focus for the 2026 NFL Draft. The team added Leo Chenal from Kansas City while Bobby Wagner departed. Frankie Luvu and Jordan Magee return as starters. ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. projects Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles to Washington at No. 7 overall. Styles impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine with a 43.5-inch vertical jump and recorded 77 tackles last season. His athleticism, versatility, and tackling ability make him an attractive prospect. New defensive coordinator Daronte Jones plans to implement a 3-4 scheme, potentially accommodating multiple linebackers on the depth chart.
