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.

Styles’ blockbuster performance got ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick chiming in.

But an NFL researcher noted how Styles is actually faster than Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Davante Adams.

Even Baltimore Ravens All-Pro Kyle Hamilton reacted to the outing — calling Styles “one of one.”

Styles got Kansas City Chiefs fans envisioning him joining the franchise alongside Chris Jones, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. The New York Jets had fans thinking about how Styles just may have shot up to the No. 2 spot.

Essentially Sports, however, started to visualize the other New York team the Giants taking Styles in.

Once again, Reese entered this year’s combine hearing plenty of chatter about his athleticism. Even the versatile OSU defender garnered projections to land as high as No. 2. Styles overheard his own pre-draft chatter with the Dallas Cowboys among his proposed fits.

But now Styles looks like he’s rearranged the draft order — showing he’s just as freakish of an athlete and more.
