Kareem Huggins (born May 24, 1986) is a former American football running back. He was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent in 2009. Huggins graduated from Bayley Ellard High School in New Jersey[2] and played college football at Hofstra University.

Professional career

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

He was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent prior to the 2009 season. After his September release, Huggins was signed to the Buccaneers' practice squad, where he remained until his activation to the active roster for Week 16 in December.

Huggins earned a backup running back spot in camp in 2010, but a week 6 knee injury against the New Orleans Saints ended his season, landing him on injured reserve. The severe knee injury led to the Buccaneers not tendering Huggins a contract for the 2011 season.

New England Patriots

Huggins was signed by the New England Patriots on August 4, 2012, after spending the 2011 season out of football. He was released the next day.

New York Jets

He was signed to the New York Jets' practice squad on September 25, 2013.[3] He was released on October 2, 2013.[4]
