He made a 70-yard field goal to end the first half against Pittsburgh in a preseason game. Little and the Jaguars were seen celebrating widely as the half ended with the Steelers leading 14-9. Rookie sensation Travis Hunter was one of the first to greet him on the field, and they body-bumped each other in midair. Baltimore's Justin Tucker holds the NFL mark, having made a 66-yarder at Detroit in was a sixth-round draft pick from Arkansas in 2024. He made 27 of 29 field-goal attempts as a rookie and all 27 extra points. His length was 59 yards. He seemed to know his latest one was good from the onset.
