Notable stats: Last season, Styles did a bit of everything for Ohio State. He had one interception, three pass breakups, 6.5 tackles for loss, one sack, four quarterback hurries and a forced fumble. In 2024, he had 10.5 tackles for loss, six sacks and five pass breakups.
Why Giants might draft him: Yes, they just signed Tremaine Edmunds to what is essentially a two-year, $25.5 million contract. But Harbaugh desperately wants to upgrade the Giants’ putrid run defense — and has long loved an athletic inside linebacker like Styles. Forget the Giants re-signing Micah McFadden. That has zero bearing on Harbaugh perhaps pairing Styles with Edmunds. In 2024, Styles moved from safety to linebacker, so he has plenty of coverage skills, plus athleticism.
