Jaguars Kicker Scores Longest Preseason NFL Field Goal

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little made a historic 70-yard field goal during a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, an effort that would have broken the official NFL record of 66 yards set by Justin Tucker in 2021. Despite the kick's remarkable distance and the jubilant reaction from teammates and fans, including a celebratory chest bump from rookie Travis Hunter, it does not count as an official record since NFL records only recognize regular season and playoff games. Little, entering his second NFL season after a strong rookie year and a successful college career at Arkansas, has demonstrated exceptional kicking power with prior career-long field goals of 59 yards and the ability to attempt even longer kicks in practice. Broadcasters and fans alike were stunned by the kick, which surpassed even historic collegiate long field goals, though some cautioned that preseason feats do not alter official record books. The Jaguars' coaching staff expressed pride in Little's achievement, seeing it as a promising sign for his future in the league. While the NFL record remains unchanged, Little's 70-yard kick has generated significant excitement and optimism about his potential impact in upcoming seasons.
