Philadelphia Eagles

He was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the third round of the 2014 NFL draft with the 86th overall pick, reuniting Huff with former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly. On May 13, he signed a four-year deal with the team.

2014 Season highlights include a 107-yard opening kickoff return for a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans, the longest play in Eagles history. While Huff saw limited action in 2014 his play time began to increase in 2015. In week five against the New Orleans Saints he caught his first touchdown from Sam Bradford. Against the Dolphins he caught another touchdown but the Eagles were not able to win the game, eventually losing 20-19. The following week Huff caught another touchdown pass, this time from Mark Sanchez (filling in for an injured Bradford), but the Eagles lost 45-17.
