What happened: The Week 3 showing landed Styles on the Pepsi Rookie of the Week ballot. Game tracking split his five total tackles into four solos alongside two passes defensed.
Why it matters: Sonny Styles entered the week leading rookie linebackers in Week 3 grades ahead of Reese and Perkins. Pairing an interception with a forced fumble separates early Defensive Rookie of the Year cases.
By the numbers: Week 3: 5 total tackles (4 solo), 2 passes defensed, 1 interception, 1 forced fumble.
What to watch: Rookie of the Week voting will settle the Week 3 award. His Week 4 role and grades are next.
