I've loved this guy since he was at Georgia. He kicked major ass at the Senior Bowl, and still went in the 4th round! Ridiclous!

His combine numbers were off the charts for a DT

Height -- 6 ft 1 3⁄8 in Weight -- (1.86 m) 293 lb Arm length -- 32" Hand size --9 5⁄8 in

40-yard dash -- 4.85 s 10-yard split -- 1.75 s 20-yard split -- 2.86 s 20-yard shuttle -- 4.43 s Three-cone drill -- 7.33 s

Vertical jump-- 33 in Broad jump -- 9 ft 9 in Bench press -- 34 reps

Geno Atkins, Defensive tackle (2010)

Atkins dominated one-on-one drills during his Senior Bowl practices, and he constantly appeared in the backfield during the game. Luckily for the Bengals, everyone seemed more concerned with whether he’d be big enough to even play in the NFL, and the team got one of the best interior defensive lineman in the NFL for a fourth-round pick.

One has to wonder what Dunlap would think about a reunion. Those two played together for quite a while.

If there was ever a perfect signing for Seattle, this is it.

In the bear front base they've been running, Geno Atkins would set this team off. I'm certain of it.

Trade Reed for whatever draft pick can be had, get his salary, give it to Atkins.

It seems he’s speaking with the Seahawks. Hopefully they can come to terms. While he may be older, he can still be effective and right now the Seattle DT doesn’t look very formidable. It’s made up of young unexperienced guys along with a bunch of castoffs (many who haven’t lived up to their potential). Atkins is proven. Sign him PC/JS.
