Geno Atkins is headed to the Pro Bowl for the seventh time.

The Bengals defensive tackle has been voted to the AFC team as as starter for this season’s game.

“Geno has put together another outstanding season,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said via a release.“He’s played well versus the run and versus the pass. It’s very rewarding for him to be elected to the Pro Bowl again. He deserves it.”

Atkins leads the Bengals with 10 sacks this season.
