After three and a half seasons of Walker Klein Since he never really had a place on the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line, there’s no doubt anymore about what his role in the offense is.
This week Cam Robinson trade made it clear that Little is the Jaguars’ best option at left tackle for the first extended stretch of his career — a move many have speculated on since the Jaguars drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
“I feel good about him,” Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday.
“Obviously he’s been here. He’s worn a lot of hats for us. He’s played inside. He’s played outside. He’s played both tackle spots. I think after the first bit of the game he really settled into his felt comfortable and did some fun things.” and gained a lot of confidence to move forward.”
Over four seasons, Little has started 20 games, including the playoffs. 19 of those games came with a left tackle, 19 of which came with a left tackle. Now he has the next nine games to determine if he will be a starter for the Jaguars beyond 2024.
“Well, I mean, there’s still a lot of season left, but I think it’s a great opportunity for him to take. I think it’s a good question to ask him and see how he feels. But for me it would just be a great opportunity to see where things go,” Pederson said.
Little’s 2021 classmate, Trevor Lawrence, gave Little his vote on Wednesday, perhaps the biggest sign of the Jaguars’ confidence in Little yet.
“I’m excited about this opportunity for him. He’s played great when he’s had the opportunities over the last few years. He’s been put in some tough spots. He’s had to play a lot of different positions,” Lawrence said.
“He had to come in in ’22 when Cam got hurt, and finish the season while we were doing it. We didn’t miss a beat because he was prepared, and he prepared every day as a starter. So he’s I’m ready for his opportunities and that’s not easy when you’re not the full-time guy, and now that he gets that opportunity, I’m excited for him. So I think there’s always two sides to it and it’s tough. like I said, he’s more than ready and he’s done a great job. I’m excited for him and he’s played great so far.”
