How will the Cincinnati Bengals improve their roster in 2024?
According to ESPN’s Matt Bowen, the Cincinnati Bengals has been deemed as the best fit for second-team All-Pro interior defensive lineman, Justin Madubuike.
“Look for the Ravens to make a strong play to retain Madubuike, who had a career-high 13 sacks in 2023. But I also like him in Cincinnati for a defense that needs to add more speed and playmaking ability to its front seven. The Bengals allowed a league-worst 6.0 yards per play last season. Madubuike has the foot quickness and first-step juice to leverage blockers and make an impact on the pocket.”
Possible Future Cincinnati Bengals DL Justin Madubuike’s Breakout 2023 Season
The best thing you can ask for from an NFL player is availability, improvement, and development…something that Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman, Justin Madubuike has personified. After being selected 71st overall in 2020, Madubuike has improved on games played, games started, solo tackles, total tackles, tackles for loss, and sacks every single season for the first four seasons of his burgeoning career.
In 2023, Madubuike earned a second-team All-Pro nod, playing in and starting all 17 games for the Baltimore Ravens, as well as securing 56 total tackles to go long with 13 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles, all good for career highs.
