For the sixth time, Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins is recognized as being one of the best 100 players in the NFL.
Atkins is ranked as the 79th best player on NFL Networks Top 100 list.
The seven-time Pro Bowler enters the season once again as the central figure on Cincinnati’s defense. He has the the most Pro Bowl appearances by any defensive player in franchise history.
Atkins' 10 sacks led the Bengals last season. The disruptive defensive lineman has totaled 335 tackles, 71 sacks and eight forced fumbles in his career.
The Bengals drafted the 6-foot-1, 300 pound interior d-tackle in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
