Early life

A native of Allen, Texas, Little attended Allen High School, where he was a three-year starter on the offensive line. Blocking for quarterback Kyler Murray, Little helped Allen to back-to-back 16–0 seasons and 6A Division 1 UIL state championships in 2013 and 2014. In Little's senior season, Allen went undefeated again until they were upset by Sam Ehlinger's Austin Westlake team in the state championship semifinals.^[1]

Regarded as a five-star recruit, Little was ranked as the No. 2 prospect overall, behind Rashan Gary, in the class of 2016 by ESPN.^[2] After his junior season, Little verbally committed to Texas A&M, who had signed Allen quarterback Kyler Murray, only to decommit a few days later.^[3] Little eventually chose Ole Miss over scholarship offers from Alabama, Auburn, Texas A&M, Louisiana State, and others.

College career

In his true freshman year at Ole Miss, Little played in every game with five starts at left tackle, where he replaced Laremy Tunsil.^[4] On December 10, 2018, Little declared for the 2019 NFL draft.^[5]

Carolina Panthers

Little was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the second round with the 37th overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft.^[8] He played in four games, starting three at left tackle, before being placed on injured reserve on December 14, 2019.^[9] He was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp on July 28, 2020,^[10] and was moved back to the active roster four days later.^[11]

Little was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the team on December 7, 2020,^[12] and activated two days later.^[13] In 2020, he started three games at left tackle before being placed on injured reserve on December 17, 2020.^[14]

Miami Dolphins

On August 17, 2021, Little was traded to the Miami Dolphins for a 2022 seventh-round pick.^[15] He was placed on injured reserve on November 17, 2021.^[16]

Entering the 2022 season, Little was listed as Austin Jackson's backup at right tackle.^[17] 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 the Dolphins.^[18][19] 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 Vikings. However, he received plenty of criticism after giving up a 15.7% pressure rate.^[20] This performance earned Little a PFF pass blocking grade of just 1.5 out of a scale of 0-100.^[21]

Houston Texans

On May 4, 2023, Little signed with the Houston Texans.^[22] He was placed on injured reserve on August 7, 2023.^[23] He was released on August 15.
