Watch: Justin Madubuike shows he’s already in midseason form while doing running drills

Justin Madubuike is a franchise player, both literally and figuratively. The Baltimore Ravens applied the franchise tag on the 26-year-old defensive tackle on March 5. The club signed Madubuike to a four-year, $98 million contract extension three days later.

This season, the Ravens will be looking for a good return on that hefty investment. If this Madubuike offseason training video below is any indication, the 300-pound defensive lineman will certainly earn his pay and then some.

Note all his speed, quickness, and agility as he runs through the bags. His swim moves and evasive tactics are already in midseason form.

Madubuike had a breakout season last year, making a Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro. He developed into one of the better young pass rushers in the game.

Racking up 12 tackles for a loss and 13 sacks in 2023, the Dallas native and Texas A&M graduate will look to put up even more impressive numbers this fall.

The journey starts relatively soon, as Ravens veterans are set to report to training camp on July 20.
