Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins was named to the NFL's All Decade Team for the 2010s on Monday. He was the only Bengals player that made the list.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s 48-member selection committee selected the 55-member team. Only players who received at least one selection to a Pro Bowl, Associated Press All-Pro team or Pro Football Writers Association all-conference team during the 2010-19 seasons were eligible.

Atkins had 383 tackles, 75.5 sacks and 171 quarterbacks hits over that span. He's an eight-time Pro Bowler and is a two-time First-Team All-Pro. 

He’s been one of the most consistent players in the NFL. Atkins has played in all 16 games and made the Pro Bowl in each of the past six seasons.

Tom Brady, Aaron Donald, Von Miller, Adrian Peterson, Joe Thomas, Justin Tucker, J.J. Watt and Marshal Yanda were unanimous selections.
