Justin Jefferson is putting pressure on himself to return to his dominant ways.

Jefferson has experienced something of a career lull, especially with the Minnesota Vikings in last place in the NFC North. He was also reminded of his iconic one-handed catch against the Buffalo Bills, which came into the spotlight again on social media Thursday. At a press conference, Jefferson admitted he’s lost some of the childlike enthusiasm he had early in his career and is working to get back the mentality that made him one of the best pass catchers in the sport.
