Overview
- Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice, as cited by Heavy, reported that the 2026 fifth-rounder becomes a fourth-round pick if Huff records eight sacks this season, with no snap-count provisions attached.
- San Francisco acquired Huff from Philadelphia in June for a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick tied to performance.
- Huff played 26 snaps in Week 1 for the 49ers, with Heavy noting conflicting accounts of his stat line and citing a Pro Football Focus grade of 76th out of 127 edge rushers.
- Reaching eight sacks stands as a tough benchmark given Huff’s 20 career sacks over five seasons, including 10.5 in 2023 and just 2.5 in an injury-affected 2024 with the Eagles.
- Huff is deployed primarily on passing downs in San Francisco, and The Athletic’s writers labeled him a potential under-hyped addition opposite Nick Bosa.
