While it doesn’t count as far as the NFL is concerned, the kick does appear to be the longest kicked in any known football competition. The previous longest came at the college level, where Abilene Christian’s Ove Johansson made a 69-yarder in 1976.Still, consider Little a kicker to watch this season, because the Jaguars might act accordingly now that he’s shown he can do it. There might be competition to break the Tucker record, though, most notably from Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey, who owns the second-longest field goal in NFL history at 65 yards and hit a 66-yarder in preseason last year.Before his NFL career, Little was one of the top kickers in his class after earning first-team All-SEC honors at Arkansas. He was actually the third kicker taken in the draft at 212th overall, behind Will Reichard (Minnesota Vikings, 203rd overall) and Joshua Karty (Los Angeles Rams, 209th overall).
