Nnamdi Madubuike is making significant changes this season, notably slimming down to enhance his speed and agility. He has reduced his weight by about 5 to 10 pounds, aiming to maintain a range between 290 and 285 pounds, compared to last year's 295-303 pounds. In his first game with this leaner frame, he recorded two quarterback hits and a half sack against Patrick Mahomes. Madubuike sees this adjustment as a way to build on his breakout season and has drawn inspiration from players like Aaron Donald, believing that his current weight is optimal for success in the league. He recently signed a four-year, $98 million extension, indicating that if his weight loss translates into improved performance, it will be a beneficial investment for the Ravens.
