Professional career
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Huber in the fifth round (142nd overall pick) of the 2009 NFL Draft, and he has played for the Bengals since the 2009 season. In his six-year career, through the sixth game of the 2014 season, Huber has played 84 games and averaged 44.3 yards on 418 punts. He has also been the Bengals' placekicking holder for his entire career.
In week 15 of 2013 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Huber was blocked by Steelers linebacker Terence Garvin, which led to a fractured jaw. Afterwards, it was reported that Huber had also suffered a vertebral fracture in his neck, and would miss the remainder of the season.
Huber holds Bengals' franchise career marks for gross punting average (44.2 yards) and net average (39.1) through the 2013 season, as well as the season records in both categories (set in 2012).
