## Resource

The Washington Commanders are reviving a forgotten defensive role by turning rookie Sonny Styles — the seventh overall pick — into a hybrid safety-linebacker. With his college background in both positions and offseason training with a defensive backs coach, Styles is primed to thrive in the “Big Nickel” package, blending speed, coverage, and versatility. This move lets the Commanders deploy their best athletes in creative ways, complementing traditional linebackers like Luvu and Chenal while keeping opponents off balance with unpredictable schemes.
