Cincinnati Bengals’ 2010s All-Decade Starting Team
DE Carlos Dunlap
Dunlap has proved to be an All-Time great in the orange and black. He has consistently been one of the team’s leaders in sacks every year of his career as well as one of the team’s most consistent team leaders in the locker room.
The coaching staff will rely heavily on him to usher in the next generation of Bengals defensive playmakers. He’s already done a great job showing the ropes to Sam Hubbard and Carl Lawson.
DT Geno Atkins
Simply put, the greatest defensive player in Bengals history. All-Decade team in the NFL. Atkins is a strong candidate to follow Anthony Munoz into the Hall of Fame. No brainer.
He’ll look to wreck game plans even further alongside his new and very talented running mate, D.J. Reader, who was acquired in free agency.
DT Domata Peko
An underrated energy player for the Bengals. What Peko lacked in stats, he made up for in leadership on and off the field. He was an excellent nose tackle for Mike Zimmer as well as Paul Guenther.
DE Michael Johnson
Solid and dependable part of the defensive line for many years, especially during the playoff stretch. Johnson was an underappreciated and strong performer throughout his prime years.
