Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; Styles should be able to create separation, and he has the straight-line speed to threaten down the seam.
- He’s extremely dangerous in the open field, showing the vision and creativity to run through entire defenses.
- Ohio native, the son of a former OSU Buckeye who became a third-round pick and was on the Rams team that won Super Bowl XXXIV
- Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #79. He wrote "This offseason, the 6-1, 195-pounder squats 510 pounds, broad-jumped 10-10 1/2 and hit 22 mph on the GPS."
- When used downfield, he shows the ball-tracking skills and hand-eye coordination to make the adjustment on underthrown balls and back-shoulder throws.
- Styles has reliable hands and shows the willingness to make catches in traffic over the middle.
- He also has value as a catch-and-run threat, running hard and consistently picking up yards after the catch.
- Styles accelerates 0-to-60 and hits top speed fast enough to outrun angles. He’s also flexible and agile, able to keep the pedal to the floor as he turns and weaves.
- He’s extremely coordinated as a pass catcher, a natural in the screen game. He’s deadly when he’s in space, with true breakaway speed.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Styles really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
- Styles isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
- Physically, Styles profiles as a guy who should have success facing the quarterback, but he struggles to gear down and make the necessary sharp cuts to create separation underneath.
