Jordan Morris evolved right in front of you

He started 2016 slow, but since then he’s become whatever type of player the Seattle Sounders needed at the time.

Despite having a few big name rookies the Seattle Sounders never had one enter the season with as much hype as Jordan Morris. Any label of greatness was applied, a silly podcast/TV show called him the Stanford Messi. Others, myself included, considered him the next Landon Donovan or Clint Dempsey. He was to save American soccer, or something. Already a National Team player the expectations were, and continue to be extraordinary.

A funny thing happened during his rookie year.
