The Baltimore Ravens have gotten major contributions from many players on their defense over the course of the 2023 NFL season. One of those has been defensive lineman Justin Madubuike, who is in the middle of a breakout season in a contract year.
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh was asked about the play of Madubuike so far in 2023, and didn’t hesitate to give the fourth-year player a glowing review. He talked about how Madubuike is having a “great year” and he deserves all of the credit for what he’s been able to do on the field.
“[Justin Madubuike]’s having a great year. I guess you first attribute Justin’s great year to Justin. He’s playing great. He’s talented. He works hard. He’s come in here from the beginning and steadily worked hard to become the kind of player he is. I really think he’s having just a top-notch year against the run, chasing the ball down and pass rush. [It’s] what he’s doing, plus I think the other guys. The other guys – it’s spread out. You have guys who are pressuring from every different direction – defensive ends, inside guys, linebackers, safeties, corners, nickel – and getting sacks. That helps everybody. It’s like the rising tide – [it] raises all ships. He deserves the credit for that.”
