    Baltimore DL Justin Madubuike will now go by his Nigerian-given name, Nnamdi

    2 hours ago

    OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Justin Madubuike has decided to go by his Nigerian-given name, Nnamdi.

    The team announced the switch Monday. Madubuike is a Texas native but his parents are immigrants from Nigeria.

    “Coming from Nigerian culture, our parents give us like an American name and give us a Nigerian name,” Madubuike said for a story on the Ravens’ website. “When we were growing up as little kids, they addressed us as our Nigerian name. So Nnamdi, I believe in my heart, that’s my real name.”

    Madubuike is entering his fifth NFL season, and he had a career-high 13 sacks last season.
