Analysis
Prospect overview from Lance Zierlein of NFL.com:
Little generates good velocity into the ball and hits it with consistency. He will leave some kicks out to the right on misses, but you won’t see dead pulls. He has the leg strength for the league and just needs to become more automatic on kicks from 40-49 yards out.
Positional rankings from B.J. Monacelli of SB Nation:
Little made 53/64 (82.8%) of field goals in his career. His career long is 56 yards and he showed solid accuracy from 50-plus yards going 7/11 (63.6%) over his career. Little could use some more consistency from 40-49 yards, going only 12/17 (70.6%) in his career, which would have ranked close to the bottom of the NFL last season. He only allowed eight kickoff returns in 2023. Little should hear his name called before the 2024 draft is over.
