At just 22 years old, Cam Little's shirt is already on display in the NFL's Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. That’s after the Jacksonville Jaguars kicker converted a record breaking 68-yard field goal in a game against the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2025 regular season.
What's all the more remarkable is Little didn't see himself taking up a career in the NFL - his initial ambition was to play soccer. He tells the BBC’s David Brindle about his rapid journey through a sport he only started playing seriously five years ago, reflects on the records he’s already broken and discusses his hunger to break more records.
