Carolina Panthers Little was selected by the
Carolina Panthers in the second round with the 37th overall pick in the
2019 NFL draft. He played in four games, starting three at left tackle, before being placed on injured reserve on December 14, 2019. He was placed on the active/
physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp on July 28, 2020, and was moved back to the active roster four days later. Little was placed on the reserve/
COVID-19 list by the team on December 7, and activated two days later. In 2020, he started three games at left tackle before being placed on injured reserve on December 17.
Miami Dolphins On August 17, 2021, Little was traded to the
Miami Dolphins for a
2022 NFL draft seventh-round pick (No. 242:
Kalon Barnes). He was placed on injured reserve on November 17. Entering the 2022 season, Little was listed as
Austin Jackson's backup at right tackle. However, with Jackson ruled out for the Dolphins' second game of the season (against the
Baltimore Ravens), Little was called into the starting lineup and excelled in a record-breaking fourth-quarter comeback win for Miami. After teammates had struggled in the previous few games at left tackle, Little was moved to left tackle for the Dolphins' Week 6 game against the
Minnesota Vikings. However, he received plenty of criticism after giving up a 15.7% pressure rate. This performance earned Little a PFF pass blocking grade of just 1.5 out of a scale of 0-100.
Houston Texans On May 4, 2023, Little signed with the
Houston Texans. He was placed on injured reserve on August 7, and released on August 15. == References ==
