Ravens' Madubuike changes first name to Nnamdi
Briefly

Madubuike explained, "Coming from Nigerian culture, our parents give us like an American name and give us a Nigerian name. When we were growing up as little kids, they addressed us as our Nigerian name." This reflects the cultural significance of names in his heritage.
After leading all NFL defensive tackles with 13 sacks, Madubuike felt an urge to change his name, stating, "I just felt like when I keep it real, the better player I am, the better man I am." His name change symbolizes personal authenticity.
