The first time Josh Huff fielded a kickoff for the Buccaneers, the ball hit him in the face.
Not exactly what Tampa Bay had in mind when it signed the receiver/returner in early November.
Huff went on to average 12 yards on six kick returns, and the team's average fell to an NFL-low 14.6 yards — more than 7 yards below the league mean.
That's not just a single-season low. That's an ALL-TIME low.
Didn't notice? Maybe that's because the only returns we remember are the ones that result in touchdowns or turnovers. Maybe that's because we're in the kitchen or the bathroom and miss kickoffs entirely.
