NFL's Record-Setting Kicker Gets Quick Boot in Biometric Drug Test: Cam Little
Cam Little etched his name into the record books after kicking a 68-yard field goal for the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, surpassing Justin Tucker's previous league record of 66 yards. The team emerged victorious with a 30-29 win, thanks in part to Little's record-breaking kick.
In an ironic twist, Little was sent a drug test by the NFL immediately following his achievement. He took to Twitter to express his surprise at the swift action, stating "Already?" This trend has been seen before in the NFL, where players have been subject to rapid scrutiny after achieving impressive feats on the field.
Little is no stranger to kicking long-range field goals, having previously set an NFL preseason record with a 70-yarder. However, that attempt did not count towards the regular season due to league rules. Little has shown confidence in his abilities, claiming it won't be the last time he kicks a 70-yard field goal.
The Jaguars have a solid kicker in Little, who boasts a strong regular-season performance so far, with 13-for-17 accuracy and 56 points scored. His recent record-breaking kick cements his place as one of the top performers in this area, albeit with a mere 76.5% conversion rate in 2025.
While it is unlikely that Little will receive a positive result from the drug test, he can now proudly claim that the NFL assumed he was cheating by setting the field goal record.

. Like, the guy just set a record for kicking 68 yards without even having a chance to celebrate 
. Can't we give him some credit? It's not like he's been doping left and right... I mean, he's already shown confidence in his abilities before this. And what's with the league rules about preseason records not counting 
. Shouldn't that kick still count? This whole thing just feels kinda unfair 
.
and to get a quick boot after that is kinda harsh... I mean I know some ppl might say "hey if you're on top of ur game, u gotta be tested" but still... 68 yards though is insane! 
what do u think would happen if he passed the test tho? would he just get a slap on the wrist or somethin' 
.
like what's up with the nfl being so extra? i mean congrats to him on breaking that record and all but does he really need to get tested right after that? can't they just let him enjoy his moment lol. it's like they're assuming he cheated or something which is pretty harsh considering how hard it must've taken him to kick that thing so far 
... like, what even is the likelihood of someone getting a record-breaking kick under normal circumstances? It's not like this kid was trying to cheat or anything 
! I love how he took to Twitter to express his surprise - I'm sure that wasn't exactly the reaction you'd expect from someone who just set a league record 
.
but honestly who can blame him? at least he's not afraid to speak up and share his thoughts online. it's like, what even is the point of all these strict rules and tests? can't they just let him enjoy the moment 
seriously though, can't say i'm surprised it happened, the nfl is all about keeping everyone on their toes. but still, gotta give the guy props for being so chill about it and owning his mistake 
️
he's def one of the top kickers in the league right now 
. i mean, we get it, integrity is important, but come on, can't they see he's just trying to make history here? 76.5% conversion rate in 2025 is still pretty impressive 
. i'm all for clean play, but let's not jump to conclusions... yet 
. and btw, who sets a 70-yard field goal in preseason and then doesn't even count it towards the reg season? sounds like someone's trying to build their case for cheating 
. I'm sure it's not easy to deal with all that stress and pressure 
, especially when you're trying to focus on your game 
️. And let's be real, 70-yarders are no joke! 
, even if it feels like they're being super harsh 
. Still, can't help but feel a little bad for Cam
