Gregory Lamar Little (born November 4, 1997) is an American professional football offensive tackle. He played college football for the Ole Miss Rebels.
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 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]
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]
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.
