Steve Little (American Football)
Steven Richard Little (February 19, 1956 – September 6, 1999) was an American football kicker and punter in the National Football League for the St. Louis Cardinals. He is the third-highest drafted kicker in NFL history, with first highest pick being Charlie Gogolak of Princeton University and second being Russell Erxleben. Little was actually drafted higher than future NFL greats Ozzie Newsome and Dennis Thurman. Little was an All-American placekicker and punter during his years at the University of Arkansas. He kicked an NCAA record-tying 67-yard field goal in 1977. That record has yet to be broken, and Little shares that record with Joe Williams of Wichita State University and Russell Erxleben of the University of Texas.

Famous quotes containing the word steve:
“Y’know plenty of people, in their right mind, thought they saw things that didn’t exist, y’know, like flying saucers. The light was just right, and the angle and the imagination. Oh boy, if that’s what it is, then this is just an ordinary night. You and I are going to go home and go to sleep and tomorrow when we get up that sun’s gonna shine. Just like yesterday. Good ol’ yesterday.”
—Theodore Simonson. Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.. Steve Andrews (Steven McQueen)
