Born November 2, 1945, in Groveland, Georgia, Larry Little, the great NFL offensive tackle, played college football for Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida, where he was an All-Conference player. The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s website bio reports that Little was an unheralded undrafted free pick-up by the San Diego Chargers in 1967. After a couple of seasons with the Chargers, they traded his rights to the Miami Dolphins, and that is when Larry’s career really turned to the positive. With Miami, he became a dominant blocker for the powerful Dolphin teams of the early 1970s, including the undefeated Super Bowl Champion team of 1972, a game where the Phins rushed for 2960 yards! Larry Little earned the award of being the NFL Player’s Association’s AFC Lineman of the Year in 3 consecutive seasons of 1970, 1971 & 1972. The great blocker played a total of 14 NFL seasons, made the Pro Bowl 6 times, and was an NFL All-Pro 6 times, too. The Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrined Larry Little in 1993.
