Philadelphia Eagles defensive star Bryce Huff had a lot of trade buzz surrounding him this offseason.

Then the San Francisco 49ers pulled the trigger and traded a 2026 mid-round pick to the reigning Super Bowl champions in exchange for Huff at the end of May.
And he sounds very glad that they did.
In a recent press conference, the 27-year-old edge rusher gave a bit of an insight into his thoughts earlier this offseason, and he showed his appreciation to the Niners making the move to acquire him.
"I had a few places in mind that I definitely wanted to get traded to,' Huff said. "All I was doing is just working out, staying in my routine. Thankfully, it was to San Francisco."
Huff did not work out that well in his one season with the Eagles, but his time with the New York Jets shows that he can absolutely still get the job done as an attacker of NFL QBs.

In the 2023 season, Huff racked up 10 sacks, 21 quarterback hits, and 29 total tackles. He has had some troubles with injuries as of late, so he and the Niners will be hoping that he can stay on the field and make his impact felt.
San Francisco is coming off of a season during which the club finished with a very disappointing 6-11 record, so Huff and the rest of the team's defense will be looking to rebound and help lead the team back to the NFC playoffs.

WNBA Rival Points Out Caitlin Clark's Influence in All-Star Voting
WNBA Rival Points Out Caitlin Clark's Influence in All-Star Voting originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has been one of the main reasons the WNBA has seen a major increase in attention over the past couple of seasons. Since going No. 1 overall in the 2024 draft, TV ratings, ticket sales and jersey sales have all climbed, especially for the Fever and their players. Advertisement With the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game set for July 19 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, fan voting is already in full swing. On Friday, the league released its first update on the top vote-getters. Out of the top 40 players listed, eight of them came from the Fever, including four in the top 10. Here is where each of them stands: (1) Caitlin Clark, Guard - 515,993 (3) Aliyah Boston, Frontcourt - 446,961 (7) Kelsey Mitchell, Guard - 277,664 (9) Lexie Hull, Guard - 217,438 (16) Natasha Howard, Frontcourt - 158,331 (23) Sophie Cunningham, Guard - 95,116 (30) Damiris Dantas, Frontcourt - 72,262 (38) DeWanna Bonner, Frontcourt - 56,775 Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) celebrates after scoring a 3-pointer.© Grace Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams noticed how the Fever had eight of the top 40 vote-getters and discussed it on her Twitch stream, "studbudz." "They whole starting five was on that list," Williams said. "Even folks that came off they bench was on that list, bro. No cap. That's crazy, bro, but that really show you the influence that Caitlin Clark got." Advertisement "No, facts," her teammate Natisha Hiedeman replied. "Her influence is insane," Williams said. "And people try to say that... Let's just state the facts, bro," Hiedeman said. "You can't even hate on it cause it's like you got motion," Williams said. While this update gives a good sense of who might make the All-Star game, it's important to remember that it's just the first update, and fan voting only accounts for 50% of the final vote. The other half is split evenly between current players and a media panel. Once the league has announced the players who make it, the WNBA will host a draft to determine the rosters. The results of the draft will be revealed on July 8.

Angel Reese Is Going Viral for One Play During Sky-Mercury Game
Angel Reese Is Going Viral for One Play During Sky-Mercury Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese doesn't make or attempt many 3-pointers. Reese is scoring about 11 points per game this season behind strong play inside. Advertisement But on Saturday versus the Phoenix Mercury, Reese made her third 3-pointer of the season. The made deep shot caused an uproar on social media. ESPN posted a video of Reese's made 3-pointer on X. In the video's first three and a half hours, the clip received more than 700,000 views. The 3-pointer was actually Reese's only shot attempt Saturday afternoon versus the Mercury. Reese posted nine points behind going 6-for-6 at the free-throw line. The forward also had two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. The Mercury routed the Sky 107-86. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese© Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Reese now has six made 3-pointers in her WNBA career. Her 3-pointer Saturday matched her total from her rookie season. Advertisement In 2024, Reese made 3-of-16 3-point attempts, which was just 18.8%. She has gone 3-for-10 at the 3-point line this season. Other than the 3-pointer, though, Reese didn't have a very productive afternoon in the 21-point loss. The Sky forward finished under her 11-point game average and well below the 11.7 rebounds she was posting per game before Saturday. Last season, Reese registered 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game as a rookie. With the loss to the Mercury on Saturday, the Sky fell to 3-9, currently the third-worst record. Chicago has lost five of its last six games. Meanwhile, the Mercury are heading in the opposite direction. Phoenix has won five consecutive contests and improved to 11-4 on Saturday and maintains its hold on the third spot in the standings. Advertisement Related: T.J.
