...and it'll make the media look silly for kinda overlooking him all these years. I get that he's quiet and he's a Bengal, but greatness should be promoted and I don't feel like the NFL/media has done that with Geno.

I don’t know if there’s a sack list by position or a position ranking somewhere but Geno has to be way up there. Most of the DLine stat leaders have to be at DE. I don’t think that the Bengals would even need to win a playoff game for Geno to make the hall. It seems like fans, players and even Marvin praise AJ as being great and the best Bengal. I think that Geno is by far the best Bengal. He doesn’t whiff or get beat the way AJ drops balls. Many times Geno has to beat a double team to do what he does. I wish there was a way to track stats that the DE puts up because of the DT. A lot of times it’s the DT doing the work and the DE reaping the praise and awards. Geno is incredible!
I've tried and failed to find such a list. 95% of the sack leaders are DE's and 3-4 OLB's.
Other than guys like Sapp and John Randle, I don't think many DT's are ahead of Geno in sacks.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
