The 2016 first-round pick overcame a shaky MLS combine to establish himself at the center of the Fire defense.
NEW YORK — Before the 2016 MLS combine began, Jonathan Campbell entered the event as one of the highest-rated defenders in the MLS draft. He didn't play like it on the first two days of the combine though.
Fully aware that he hadn't lived up to his potential, the 22-year-old did something unusual. In one of his interviews with MLS coaching staffs before the final day of the combine, Campbell asked a coach what he could do better, and what could he do to show his quality.
