ESPN reporters who cover AFC North teams have come to the conclusion of what most people in the Queen City have known for years: Geno Atkins is pretty good.

Although Atkins didn't hit his dominant numbers of 2015, he still managed to be consistently disruptive while recording nine sacks and continues to be one of the league's premiere interior defensive linemen.
