Hours after his release by the Cardinals, Little was involved in a high-speed single car accident, which broke his neck and left him a quadriplegic. Little died in 1999 at age 43, having spent years as a quadriplegic in hospice in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he lived with and was cared for by his brother Gene Little. Little is on the All-Century team at Arkansas, and is also listed as #11 on the list of greatest Arkansas football players of all time.

Little was selected fifteenth in the 1978 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite the anticipation surrounding his kicking skills demonstrated in college, he performed at a dismal level as a professional. Little served as both punter and placekicker; in his brief 33-game NFL career, he punted for a total of 4,809 yards, but had a disappointing field goal percentage of 48.1% over less than three seasons. He did kick a 51-yard field goal, the fifth-longest in Cardinals history, but also missed ten extra points in 51 attempts. Little's problems off the field also caused him issues with the team; with a new head coach in 1980, he was released six games into the season on October 16, replaced by kicker Neil O'Donoghue.

Little was an All-American placekicker and punter during his years at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. He kicked an NCAA record-tying 67-yard field goal on October 15, 1977. That record has yet to be broken; it was set by Erxleben two weeks earlier on October 1, 1977, and is shared with Joe Williams of Wichita State (October 21, 1978).

In 1975, Little helped Arkansas in its defeat of Georgia in the Cotton Bowl. In 1977, he helped the Razorbacks to an upset victory in the Orange Bowl over Oklahoma. In that game, Arkansas running back Roland Sales rushed for 205 yards, an Orange Bowl record that stood for twenty years, when Ahman Green of Nebraska gained one more for 206 yards. Defensively, future Chicago Bears star Dan Hampton shut down the Oklahoma running game. In both bowl games, Little set team PAT records for bowl games, kicking four in each. He also set a team career record for points with 280. During Little's career with Arkansas, the Razorbacks went 10–2 in 1975, 5–5–1 in 1976, and 11–1 in 1977. During his final year at Arkansas Little played under head coach Lou Holtz.

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, behind Charlie Gogolak (6th, 1966) of Princeton and Russell Erxleben (11th, 1979) of Texas. Little was drafted higher than future NFL greats Ozzie Newsome and Todd Christensen.
