Gregory Little (born November 4, 1997) is an American football offensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Ole Miss.
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.
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]
Little was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the second round with the 37th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.[6] He played in four games, starting three at left tackle, before being placed on injured reserve on December 14, 2019.[7] He was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp on July 28, 2020,[8] and was moved back to the active roster four days later.[9]
Little was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the team on December 7, 2020,[10] and activated two days later.[11] In 2020, he started three games at left tackle before being placed on injured reserve on December 17, 2020.[12]
On August 17, 2021, Little was traded to the Miami Dolphins for a 2022 seventh-round pick.[13] He was placed on injured reserve on November 17, 2021.[14]
