Carl Lester Littlefield (August 6, 1916 – May 23, 1988)[1] was an American football back who played from 1938 to 1940 in the National Football League (NFL) and third American Football League (AFL).
Born in Plymouth, California,[2] Littlefield attended Sacramento Junior College, where he played fullback and was the team's punter.[3] He then played as a fullback at Washington State, and the Associated Press called him "Probably the most sought-after player" among those who were not picked in the 1938 NFL Draft.[4] Littlefield went to the Cleveland Rams for the 1938 season, where he played in nine games and rushed 19 times for 69 yards; he also returned a fumble for his only NFL touchdown.[2] After the season, the Rams traded him to the New York Giants,[5] but they released him and the Pittsburgh Pirates acquired Littlefield.[6] In 1939 and 1940, he played for the Pirates, running for 141 yards in 39 attempts.[2] In 1940, Littlefield also played for the AFL's Buffalo Indians.[7]
