Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans selected Huff in the fourth round, with the 122nd overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.[3] One of the reasons the Titans selected Huff is because he is versatile, and can play at either the safety position or at cornerback. In Week 14, Huff recorded his first interception against Eli Manning and the New York Giants, which he returned for a 23-yard touchdown.
