'Will have a job for a decade': NFL world stunned by Jaguars kicker's 70-yard field goal
Updated . First published at
Cameron Little has produced a kick for the ages in an NFL pre-season game, slotting an incredible 70-yard field goal against the Steelers.
With the Jaguars trailing 14-6 right on the stroke of half time, Little lined up a highly improbably attempt from inside his own territory.
The 21-year-old then belted the ball through the uprights with ease as his teammates and coaching staff erupted on the sidelines.

The regular-season NFL record, held by Justin Tucker, is 66 yards - but unfortunately for Little, his phenomenal effort won't count in any official capacity.
Despite that, former NFL kicker turned media personality Pat McAfee described it as "legendary" while others were quick to react in amazement on social media.
Pittsburgh opened the scoring through tight-end Darnell Washington and took the 14-9 lead into the main break, before going on to win 31-25.
Off-season recruit Aaron Rodgers did not play in the Steelers' first pre-season game.
