Cam Little drilled a 70-yard field goal against the Falcons in preseason and routinely cleared 72 yards in warmups. The NFL excludes preseason statistics from the official record, but Little's leg demonstrated NFL-record range that rivals Justin Tucker's 66-yard mark. Little is 22 years old and could attempt a record during the regular season, especially in high-altitude Denver on December 21. Jaguars coach Liam Coen may only call long attempts in game-critical moments, but Little's range reshapes field-goal math and forces defenses to alter coverage as offenses approach potential field-goal range.
Jacksonville kicker Cam Little has a chance to crush the record for the longest successful field goal. He drilled a 70-yarder against the Falcons during preseason and comfortably clears 72 yards during warmups. The NFL insists preseason stats don't count towards the archive. Fine. But if there's one number that should make the official ledger, it's Little's effort against the Falcons.
The 22-year-old should get a chance to turn his asterisk title into the real deal during the regular season. Justin Tucker holds the current record at 66 yards, which seems like light work for Little. Whether new Jags head coach Liam Coen will be comfortable calling for a 70-yarder during a real game remains to be seen. Coen may only rely on Little's distance when it's needed for a go-ahead score.
