Geno Atkins and A.J. Green continued to make their cases for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day Tuesday when they each another Pro Bowl selection.
Atkins, an eight-year player named to his sixth Pro Bowl, is headed to first ballot territory with another nine-sack season that currently leads all NFL tackles. He and cornerback Lemar Parrish now share the most Pro Bowls by a Bengals defensive player. Although Green wasn’t named a starter this year, he’s never missed a selection with seven, trailing only Hall-of-Fame let tackle Anthony Munoz’s 11 on the Bengals’ all-time list.
