Jaguars Rookies Shine in Preseason Loss

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie kicker Cam Little made headlines by hitting a 70-yard field goal during a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a feat that would have shattered the NFL record if it had occurred in a regular-season game. The kick, while the longest ever made in any organized football game, will not be recognized as an official record, meaning Justin Tucker's 66-yard field goal from 2021 remains the NFL standard. Little, drafted in 2024, celebrated with teammates despite the Jaguars ultimately losing the game 31-25. Another Jaguars rookie, Travis Hunter, impressed in his NFL debut by contributing on both offense and defense, recording two catches and playing defensive snaps. Coaches and teammates praised both Little’s leg strength and Hunter’s versatility, spotlighting the pair as emerging talents for Jacksonville. Both players' performances have generated excitement among fans and analysts ahead of the regular season.
