On a team littered with players who work hard away from the field to make a difference in communities, Geno Atkins stands tall.
The Cincinnati Bengals defensive lineman is now a finalist for the Alan Page Community Award alongside Brandon Carr, Brandon Copeland, Demario Davis and Bobby Wagner, the NFLPA announced.
Atkins’ work away from the field is extensive, with one of his notable recent achievements being the Week 15 NFLPA Community MVP thanks to his “Atkins Week of Giving.”
Atkins’ NFL peers vote on the outcome of the award, which will get announced during the Super Bowl. He was a finalist last year too, though former teammate and current Los Angeles Rams tackle Andrew Whitworth won the top prize.
