Locke Having More Fun, More Success in Year 4

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Jeff Locke is doing less thinking and more playing this season. So far, it’s paying off.

“I think as a young punter and a young player I put too much pressure on myself … but I’ve just kind of tried to come into my own and just relax and have a little more fun this year,” said Locke, who had arguably his best career game at Carolina last Sunday.

After a solid performance against Green Bay in Week 2, Locke helped give the Vikings great field position a number of times en route to their 22-10 win over the Panthers.
