Now with Atlanta United, Tyrone Mears was the starting right back whenever available for the Sounders in 2016. That was true no matter the coach or other talent on the squad. Mears will turn 34 in a couple weeks, and is now with his ninth team.
The ranking is based on several hundred Sounder at Heart readers’ votes. Realio rated every single MLS regular season and playoff game as well as the two CONCACAF Champions League matches. He did not rate USL or USOC play.
