2.16 New Orleans Chocolate City - WR Josh Huff

In the real world: The Philadelphia Eagles took Huff in Round 3 of the NFL Draft; he played under their head coach, Chip Kelly, at Oregon. He had a very good offseason, performing well during Senior Bowl week and showing sub-4.5 speed. He may be the Eagles' #4 wide receiver already, given that DeSean Jackson and Jason Avant are gone. As mentioned back at 1.15, Jeremy Maclin could leave after this year. In the meantime, however, targets won't be easy to come by this year, with Maclin returning from injury, Darren Sproles arriving from New Orleans, second-year TE Zach Ertz due for an expanded role, and fellow rookie Jordan Matthews arriving fresh out of Vanderbilt. Given his size, speed and athleticism, he could play a few different roles--he could be used as a kick returner or a running back as well as a wideout.
In the TUFF world: This pick is good considering this spot in the Draft. It'll be interesting to see how Kelly uses Huff. Only time will tell what role he will play, and how much of a role that will be.
