D.C. United 2016 Countdown: 27 days - Will we remember this as Collin Martin's breakout year?

The homegrown midfielder is coming off a rough 2015 marred by injury and illness. Will 2016 be the year he breaks out?

Collin Martin is many things for many D.C. United fans. Promise, the future, a missed opportunity, hope. It's a lot to put on a 21-year-old homegrown player who has all of 13 first team appearances since signing in 2013. Today, with 27 days until United takes the field against Queretaro, we're going to spend some time thinking about the young man who wears that number for the Black-and-Red.

Promise is something the Chevy Chase native has in spades.
