This season has treated Philadelphia Union defender Keegan Rosenberry extremely well. The right back has played every minute this season for the club, similar to his rookie campaign that saw him finish second in Rookie of the Year voting and starting in the 2016 MLS All-Star Game.
So what has been the secret to Rosenberry’s strong play this season? One answer. THE BEARD, duh.
Fans may have seen a (small) change in Rosenberry at Talen Energy Stadium this season. The former clean-shaven kid from Georgetown has morphed into an intimidating presence on the pitch.
Rosenberry started his no-shave quest to start the season and as we hit June on the calendar, the bearded one has put himself on the map for All-Star considerations after playing sound defense and finding his name on the scoresheet.
