Former NFL pass rusher Bryce Huff spent time with three franchises during his six-year career, which gives him a unique vantage point to assess the legacies of two of the sport’s most storied organizations.<\/p>\n

Now that he’s retired from the league, Huff reflected on whether the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> or the Philadelphia Eagles made the bigger cultural impact on the NFL. While Huff began his career with the New York Jets, they weren’t part of the debate.<\/p>\n

Huff settled on San Francisco after discussing how many superstars played for the 49ers and the fan culture of each franchise.<\/p>\n

“[The 49ers] have a die-hard fanbase, full supporters. I think that goes a long way,” Huff said on the Caps Off Podcast<\/a>. “Like, just their fan culture is deep, but at the same time, Philly has a crazy fan base, too. And I feel like their culture is insane, so I would say Niners, but I think it is pretty close.”<\/p>\n

Huff retired<\/a> in 2025 at age 27 after just one year with the 49ers. He co-founded Naberstone, a company whose mission is to build infrastructure to prevent and combat lithium-ion battery fires.<\/p>\n
