Times-Union sports columnist Gene Frenette grades all of the Jaguars ' 2024 NFL draft picks.
Cam Little , K, Arkansas , 6th round (No. 212 overall)
Grade: B
Though the Jaguars have only once in their history drafted a kicker ( Josh Scobee , 2004), it seemed almost inevitable that it would happen this year with the right fit. Previously released NFL kickers Joey Slye and Riley Patterson , who kicked for Jacksonville in 2022, are the only ones on the roster. Little, who made 53 of 64 field goals in his Arkansas career (82.8 percent), has seven field goals of 50-plus yards and earned first-team All-SEC honors. Little's big leg gives him a legitimate shot at winning the job.
