Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Justin Madubuike really jumped out onto the scene last year, as a tremendous season saw him become one of the league’s best interior defensive linemen. He is expected to be a star once again this year on one of the league’s best defenses.
But, he won’t be known as Justin Madubuike anymore. Instead, he will be known by his native Nigerian name, Nnamdi.
Madubuike made the announcement on Twitter on Saturday with the Ravens’ official twitter account.
“The intention was to just be true and just be me. I just felt like when I keep it real, the better player I am, the better man I am. I just was like, I’m going to go with my real name. Nnamdi is my real name,” he said.
Here’s what Nameberry.com has to say about the name Nnamdi.
