Lions 2020 NFL draft: A pass rusher for every round

Sixth round: Bryce Huff, Memphis

Huff is a twitchy bundle of kinetic energy. Focusing the energy during a play more consistently will be the difference between Huff being a useful sub-package rusher for years or dropping off a practice squad as a rookie.

The potential is certainly there for Huff to make an impact at the NFL level. He’s very quick, light on his feet and plays every snap like it’s life or death. Huff’s under-and-up move and shoulder dip are lethal.

There is a definite all-or-nothing to Huff’s game tape. He will try to sprint or dance around blocks instead of holding his ground or his containment. Teams running right at him with a blocker in front found success. But as a stand-up, fast-twitch pass rush specialist, Huff merits strong consideration.
