Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Justin Madubuike, following a breakout season and a new four-year, $98 million contract, has decided to go by his Nigerian-given name, Nnamdi. Madubuike, who led NFL defensive tackles with 13 sacks last season, explained that his parents, who are Nigerian immigrants, addressed him by this name growing up. Inspired by teammate Odafe Oweh's similar name change, Madubuike believes embracing his true name will help him stay authentic and improve both as a player and a person. The name Nnamdi means 'my father's son' or 'my father's legacy,' which holds significant personal value for him.
