While we write player profiles recapping the 2016 season, a season with an MLS Cup, it is also important to recognize that Seattle Sounders players and staff go through real life just as we do.

The Homegrown Player was in his third year with Sounders FC. In 2016 they tried to use him as a winger in the 4-3-3 with both S2 and spot-time in MLS.
