Jefferson is doing whatever he can to make sure he doesn't have another hamstring issue.
The hamstring ailment that cost Justin Jefferson seven games last season was the first injury of his NFL career. That time away from the game has remained on the Vikings superstar's mind heading into the 2024 campaign. Always the ultimate competitor, Jefferson hated being out last year and is doing everything he can to make sure he stays healthy this season.
After a ridiculous four-game start to the 2023 season, even by his standards — Jefferson had 543 yards and three touchdowns through four weeks — a hamstring injury against the Chiefs in Week 5 sidelined him until December. Jefferson eventually returned and was back to his dominant ways down the stretch, but the Vikings fell short of the playoffs.
"I'll get to the point where I feel like I'm not going to think of it again," he said. "Because I'm gonna push it to where it's way strong enough for it not to happen again. It's just all about being confident in it ... and I can go out there and play freely."
