Huff was an undrafted free agent in 2020 when the Jets scooped him up. However, both parties could not come to a deal and Huff explored free agency once again, this time signing with the Eagles. The 32-year-old Allen was joined by his former O-Line teammate Jason Kelce on his podcast ‘New Heights,’ where Allen couldn’t stop himself from hyping up Huff!
“I think Bryce Huff is going to be a great fit for the Eagles in 2024”, said Allen on the podcast. He also mentioned the reasoning behind this prediction. Since Allen and Kelce, both have previously worked with DC Fangio, they know his system and Allen thinks Huff will excel under him.
“I think in Fangio’s scheme as you know an outside linebacker set that edge, he will excel in the you know run defending role there”, said Allen. And Kelce agreed with the assessment for the 25-year-old. Apart from the joining of Huff, the former Eagles players are also excited about the return of Fangio!
Vic Fangio comes back to the Eagles
Fangio joined the Eagles coaching department as a defensive consultant in 2022. The 65-year-old was brought on for his expertise to win the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. The expectations were that he would be awarded the position of defensive coordinator at the Eagles.
