Justin Madubuike, a third-round pick in the 2020 draft by the Baltimore Ravens is in a contract year. And playing like it. He worked hard, according to his own account, in the off-season and the work is paying off.
Though guys having a big year when they are up for a contract need to be given extra scrutiny (one of Proscout's axioms) Madubuike did improve last year from year two and from year two from year one.
Here are a few plays from this year that resulted in three of his sacks.
First is a sweet spin. Then an outside double swipe to the long arm bull rush. Then from the Seattle game a stunt with the linebacker going first and Madubuike looping behind for a sack.
This clip is of a zone blitz with Madubuike and huge nose tackle Michael Pearce dropping out of rush because the have two extra rushers, one on each edge—
The Ravens will likely find a way to lock him up. He's their kind of player, perfect for their scheme. Strout enough for the run in both base and nickel and gets good pressure in nickel.
He has shot at a Pro Bowl if he keeps this level of play up.
