Former Arkansas kicker Cam Little sets NFL all-time record for longest field goal
Published:
Cam Little stands alone in NFL history.
The former Arkansas kicker blasted a 68-yard field goal just before halftime of Jacksonville’s game against the Raiders on Sunday. Little, who made a 70-yarder in the preseason, broke the regular-season record which was previously set by Justin Tucker at 66 yards back in 2021.
Here’s a look at Little’s historic kick:
In addition to making history, Little’s field goal could prove to be crucial for Jacksonville as the Jaguars look to make a comeback in Las Vegas. They were shutout in the first half prior to Little’s make from 68 yards.
Sixty-plus yard field goals have been more common in the NFL this season. Entering Week 9, all kickers have combined for 6 makes of 60+ yards. Kickers made just 4 such field goals across the entirety of the 2024 regular season.
Little is in his second NFL season. Entering Sunday, he was 10-of-14 on field goals this season. All 4 of his misses had come from 40+ yards. He was a 6th-round pick out of Arkansas in the 2024 NFL Draft and has quickly established himself as a starting kicker in the NFL. He made 93% of his field goals as a rookie in 2024.
