49ers’ Bryce Huff excited to be reunited with coach Robert Saleh
“Coach Saleh did a great job lining all that up for us in New York, and I saw a lot of guys elevate themselves throughout my three years with them,” Huff told Graham. “So I’m extremely excited to be back here in San Fran. I know last year wasn’t my best season at all in Philly, and I had a lot of stuff going down, but one thing led to another, and I got that call from my agent when the trade window opened up and I was on a plane to Santa Clara. So I’m extremely excited to be here…..I’ve been here working with the same staff that took me from a basic player to like top of the league in pressure rate, top of the league in win rate, sacks, and whatnot. So I’ve been here putting in the same work that I put in all those years this summer, and I’m gonna be here until the first day of camp. So I’m excited to see how everything plays out this year with being back in Coach Saleh’s scheme and being back with this performance staff.”
Huff should be excited to be back with Saleh, in the same scheme he thrived in, and that he’s been used to playing in for years. Last season in Philadelphia, he lined up differently than he has in his entire career leading up to 2024. His statistics and his impact on the game are proof of how much better of a player he was when he was in the right scheme.
“Yeah, I feel, it feels like, feels like home,” Huff added. “Honestly, being able to put my hand in the dirt and utilize my full posterior chain to get off the ball every time, every snap, it gives me an advantage because that’s like what I worked on my entire life. I’ve been playing D-line since I was four years old with my hand in the dirt. So I feel like that muscle, that mind muscle memories, that my muscle connection is just like, it’s been solidified for over 15 years of just playing football. And that’s how my body fires the best, honestly. That’s really all it comes down to.”
