4 things to know about Jets’ undrafted free agent EDGE Bryce Huff

Here are four things to know about Jets’ undrafted free agent edge rusher Bryce Huff, who was fourth in the nation in total pressures.

Out of any of the Jets’ undrafted free agents, Bryce Huff has the best chance to stick.

New York is constantly looking to get better at the edge rusher position. Besides drafting Jabari Zuniga in the third round of the draft, the Jets did not do much to address the position this offseason. Re-signing Jordan Jenkins to a one-year deal was a savvy move by Joe Douglas, but the Jets failed to add other available pieces on the market.

New York has a chance to right its wrongs with Huff, who was projected to be a mid-round draft choice but surprisingly went undrafted. Now with Gang Green, Huff has the chance to make all the teams that passed on him pay.

With that said, let’s get to know Huff a bit better. Here are four things to know about the undrafted free agent.

Bryce Huff ranked fourth in the nation amongst pass-rushers in 2019 with 64 total pressures. Out of 359 pass rushes, Huff’s pressure rate was 18 percent, which ranked seventh-best in the nation and in the 99th percentile.

Huff became a force to be reckoned with after transitioning from linebacker to the defensive line. During his senior campaign, Huff led Memphis in tackles for loss with 15.5, 6.5 sacks, 16 quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles.
