Former Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles is generally regarded as one of the top prospects in this year\u2019s draft, but his position has led some to wonder just how high he\u2019ll go when the first round gets underway next month. <\/p>\n

Off-ball linebackers don\u2019t tend to be among the first picks, but Styles believes he brings more to the table than others. During an appearance on Up & Adams, Styles was asked about comparisons to Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton \u2014 Styles was a safety when he got to college \u2014 and said he hopes to be used as the same kind of versatile piece that Hamilton has been in Baltimore.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just depends what coordinator you go to, what scheme<\/a> you go to,\u201d Styles said. \u201cKyle Hamilton is one of those guys that can do a lot all over the field. He\u2019s an amazing player. So, I\u2019d love to be in a scheme where I can do multiple roles and help a defense win. I think what\u2019s nice is when you have a coordinator who\u2019s able to put you in so many different positions and utilize you in that way, it\u2019s helping the entire defense because you become more unpredictable when there\u2019s guys like that on your defense who can do so many different things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamilton\u2019s rise to All-Pro status came under John Harbaugh, who became the head coach of the Giants after being dismissed by the Ravens in January. The Giants hold the fifth overall pick and Styles could become part of Harbaugh\u2019s plan to turn the franchise around in his first season in his new job. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles is generally regarded as one of the top prospects in this year\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":548690,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-548689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=548689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/548689\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/548690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=548689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=548689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=548689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
