The 6-foot-5, 244-pound linebacker ended up shattering the vertical marks made by Nick Emmanwori and D.K. Metcalf as part of his epic day.
But his vertical wasn't the only astonishing mark he hit. Styles blazed his 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds — while carrying nearly 245 pounds. He ran at the speed of a wide receiver and faster than most NFL tight ends who ran at the combine in years past.
He placed first in four different categories inside Lucas Oil Stadium — and got fans envisioning him playing for their team.
