Is Sonny Styles the only standout linebacker in the 2026 Draft class?
About this episode
The episode discusses the standout linebacker Sonny Styles and the overall quality of the 2026 Draft class.
Sonny Styles quickly became one of the darlings of this draft class way back in September after Ohio State's first few games. After him, the linebacker class is a mixed bag, as it so often is. Dane Brugler and Dave Helman dig deep into the position on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
