After completing four years at Wyoming, Huff decided to enter the NFL Draft. Huff put up very respectable numbers at the NFL Scouting Combine, including one of the better 40-yard dashes of all the defensive backs that were invited. He earned a Draft Grade of 5.7. Huff was a projected third to fifth round pick for the upcoming draft.

Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans selected Huff in the fourth round, with the 122nd pick overall 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.

It was announced that Huff would be suspended for the first game of the 2016 season due to violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.[4] On September 2, 2016, Huff was released by the Titans as part of final roster cuts.[5]

Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed Huff off waivers on September 4, 2016.[6] He was released on September 13, 2016 and was signed to the team's practice squad the next day.

Baltimore Ravens

On October 6, 2016, Huff was signed by the Baltimore Ravens off of the Jaguars' practice squad.[7]
