How did Geno Atkins respond to the Cincinnati Bengals giving him in August the largest contract to a non-quarterback age 30 or older in NFL history?

The veteran defensive tackle was honored by the fans, coaches and peers as a starter for the AFC Pro Bowl team.

It is the seventh Pro Bowl for Atkins, the most in franchise history by a defensive player (Lemar Parrish had six).
