Sonny Styles, selected as the seventh pick in the 2026 NFL draft by the Washington Commanders, follows a path marked by family heritage and personal ambition. His background is steeped in football history, highlighted by the Super Bowl XXXIV ring belonging to his father, Lorenzo Styles Sr.
Growing up surrounded by reminders of his father’s achievements, including newspaper articles and jerseys, Sonny and his siblings were aware of their father’s six-year career in the NFL. However, Lorenzo Styles Sr. rarely spoke of his professional journey, choosing instead to let his children uncover this legacy piece by piece.
With a multifaceted familial connection to the NFL—his brother also a rookie in the league—Sonny embraces the opportunity to build his own story. He expresses a strong desire to enhance his opportunities and make the most of his career, driven by the familial inspirations embroidered into his upbringing.
