Cam Little blasted a 70-yard field goal to close out the first half of Jacksonville's preseason win over Pittsburgh, a kick that wowed fans and underscored his league-ready leg. It isn’t an official NFL record in the preseason, but it raised the chatter about Little’s ceiling as Jacksonville’s youngster with serious range. The next day, former Razorback teammate Jake Bates followed with a 57-yarder for Detroit against Atlanta, signaling the SEC-to-NFL kicker pipeline remains active in early August.
Little, a Moore, Oklahoma native and Arkansas’ all-time most accurate kicker (82.8%), was a sixth-round pick in 2024 who thrived in his first NFL season, going 27-of-29 on field goals (93.1%), with a long of 59 and 108 total points, plus 65 touchbacks on kickoffs. His college resume also highlights PFWA Freshman All-American and Freshman All-SEC honors. The Jaguars’ rookie year and preseason spark suggest his long-range potential could shape Jacksonville’s kicking decisions this fall, especially in scenarios demanding distance and clutch accuracy.
