In one of those forgone conclusions, much like A.J. Green will be when the announcement was made, Bengals defensive line coach Jay Haynes announced via twitter that Geno Atkins was named as a starter to the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl.
CONGRATS TO @GenoSacks BEING VOTED AS A STARTER TO THE PRO BOWL! HAPPY FOR YOU THE GREAT BAM GENO!
Geno finished second in the fan vote, but close enough that coaches and players, making up two-thirds of the total vote, would probably get Geno into the starting lineup.
