COLUMBUS, Ohio – Sonny Styles sits on the bench at the Fortress Obetz football complex in southeast Columbus.
He ties his shoes, looks up for a brief moment and when he stands, there’s no mistaking the type of athlete this Ohio native is. The physical superiority he has over the others in his position group at this Under Armour Camp Series is obvious from the get-go. And this is before the 6-foot-4 (pushing 6-foot-5) and 205-pound outside linebacker/safety/hybrid/whatever-the-hell position he is, goes to work.
Complete with a 6-foot-5 wingspan, Styles stands out the minute he walks on the field and the minute he joins the defensive backs group for one of his first competitive camp settings.
