Geno Atkins is still an elite defender

Since entering the league, Geno Atkins has established himself as one of the NFL’s top interior pass rushers.

Despite the defense’s struggles over the past few seasons, Atkins has been an absolute force. Some point to his sack numbers and say he had a bad 2019 season, but the tape tells a different story. At times he looked like he was stopping the run all by himself.

Atkins is still one of the best defenders in the league and will return to national prominence with improved team performance in 2020.
