In a dramatic Week 5 showdown against the Indianapolis Colts, Cam Little showcased his poise under pressure by nailing a 53-yard field goal to tie the game at 23-23 with less than two minutes remaining. He wasn’t done yet—Little later converted a 49-yard field goal with just 17 seconds left, securing a 37-34 victory for the Jaguars. These kicks were part of a breakout game that saw Little consistently deliver in high-leverage moments, including earlier field goals from 30 and 23 yards. His accuracy and range have been pivotal for a Jaguars team battling in a tight AFC South race.
Little’s impact hasn’t been limited to just one game. Throughout the season, he has converted crucial kicks, including a 44-yard field goal to extend the lead against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and a 41-yard field goal that put the Jaguars ahead against the Houston Texans. Notably, he opened scoring in the international London game against the Chicago Bears with a 30-yard field goal, further underscoring his reliability on the global stage.
What truly sets Cam Little apart is his leg strength. During preseason, he drilled an unofficial 70-yard field goal, capturing the attention of both fans and analysts. While not an official NFL record, the feat highlighted his potential to become one of the league’s premier long-distance kickers. Special teams coordinator Heath Farwell has praised Little’s adaptability, especially with the introduction of the NFL’s new Dynamic Kickoff rule, noting that the rookie’s quick adjustment bodes well for the Jaguars’ special teams unit moving forward.

Little’s rise has drawn comparisons to past Jaguars greats, and he has already formed a strong bond with veteran punter Logan Cooke. Off the field, Little and fellow rookie Maason Smith discussed their experiences and team dynamics during a feature on Off the Field.
At just 21 years old, Cam Little is already proving to be a difference-maker for the Jacksonville Jaguars. If his early performances are any indication, he could become a cornerstone of the franchise’s special teams for years to come.
