The San Francisco 49ers took a flier on edge rusher Bryce Huff last offseason, opting to trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for his services by exchanging a day-three conditional draft pick.
The hope was Huff, reuniting with then-defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, could return to the kind of player he was previously with the New York Jets, emulating a 10-sack campaign that made him something of a household name before flaming out in Philly a year later.
Well, the trade worked out... sort of.
Huff finished with a team-best four sacks (that's not a lot, but neither were the Niners' league-low 20 sacks as a team), and his presence helped alleviate the season-ending ACL tear suffered by Nick Bosa in Week 3.
