The Cincinnati Bengals finally cracked the NFL Top 100 Players of 2018 when Geno Atkins checked in at No. 63. The list is created with player influence by the NFL.
This is the third-straight year in which Atkins has made the annual ranking of the NFL’s top players by the players after coming in at No. 68 in 2017. He came in at 29th overall in 2016 after failing to make it in 2015. Atkins was voted 48th in 2013.
Atkins, who just finished his seventh NFL season, appeared in all 16 games in 2016 and finished with 46 total tackles, nine sacks, and was ranked second among interior defensive lineman by Pro Football Focus (accounts for 4-3 and 3-4 defensive tackles).
