At 6-1, 300 pounds, Atkins re-defined the defensive tackle position with an unblockable brew of speed and strength. His 75.5 career sacks led all NFL defensive tackles in the decade of the 2010s, as did his eight Pro Bowls, the most ever by a Bengals defender. Also named to two All-Pro teams in a career of 161 games, the most by a Bengals position player in this century while racking up the third most sacks in club history.
According to Pro Football Reference, Atkins also leads all defensive tackles in quarterback hits during the 2010s with 172.
