While projected top picks don’t always work out at the NFL Scouting Combine, Ohio State linebackers Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese are both planning to work out on Thursday night in Indianapolis, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Monday.

“If there is one player in this setting, in these drills and the testing portions that is going to blow people away, I would say that it might be Styles,” Pelissero said. “He is a big, rangy linebacker; he is going to weigh in the low 240s, and he is going to test really well if he backs up what he’s been doing so far in training.”
Pelissero said Reese will do position drills and is “likely” going to run the 40-yard dash.
Linebackers will work out at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday night. The first day of workouts at Lucas Oil Stadium is scheduled to run from 3-9 p.m. on Thursday; linebackers are the third and final workout group of the day, so Reese and Styles will likely take the field around 7 p.m. NFL Network will televise coverage of the workouts.
