This is the fourth in a 25-part series that counts down the best football players in the SEC heading into the 2009 season.
No. 22 GENO ATKINS
Georgia senior defensive tackle
Why he's No. 22: Atkins emerged as a fierce, pass-rushing defensive end for the Bulldogs last season. Atkins, who started all 13 games as junior, will be counted on for leadership across the Georgia defensive front again this fall.
Key number: 32, the number of hurries Atkins had on quarterbacks last season, leading all Georgia players.
Fun fact: Atkins made the All-SEC academic honor roll last season.
