The Bengals managed to get one player into the 2019 Pro Bowl, and it comes as no surprise that it’s Geno Atkins.
The stud defensive tackle has been named a starter for the AFC in this year’s all-star game.
“Geno has put together another outstanding season,” said head coach Marvin Lewis in a press release. “He’s played well versus the run and versus the pass. It’s very rewarding for him to be elected to the Pro Bowl again. He deserves it.”
This is Atkins’ seventh career Pro Bowl nod, moving him ahead of cornerback Lemar Parrish (six) for most selections by a defensive player in Bengals history.
