JACKSONVILLE – This one resonated a bit longer than usual.
And why not? When a player makes a transcendent play, one that reshapes possibilities, it’s going to linger and get discussed – and make no mistake: Cam Little‘s reshaping kick got discussed around the Jaguars Monday.
“That was a special moment,” Jaguars special teams coordinator Heath Farwell said.
Little, the Jaguars’ second-year kicker, kicked a 70-yard field goal on the final play of the first half in a 31-25 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 preseason opener at EverBank Stadium Saturday. The kick would have broken the NFL record for longest field goal by four yards had it been a regular-season game – and, notably, the kick surprised few around the Jaguars.
“You see him do it all the time,” Jaguars punter/holder Logan Cooke said. “He hit a 72[-yarder] out here [in a recent practice] in a two-minute drill. You know he has the leg, so when he hits it straight you’re like, ‘All right. It has to be good.”’
Jaguars teammates celebrated wildly following the kick Saturday, with defensive end Travon Walker on Monday calling it “something special to see.”
“It’s really once in a lifetime,” Walker said. “You really don’t get to see that much. Hats off to Cam. He’s a great kicker. We don’t see him a lot, but when we go to field goal, we know he can kick 50-yarders easy. We see that every now and then.
“He’s a great kicker. He works his ass off.”
