Hang around Jurgen Klinsmann long enough, and you'll hear the United States manager use some variation of the word "grind."
It might be in the context of a team gutting its way through a season or an international tournament. Or he might be referring to the way a player fights his way through adversity, riding the ups and downs.
Based on that last definition, Michael Orozco is the ultimate grinder.
The U.S. international defender has rarely been a mainstay on any of the professional teams he's played for. But the 30-year-old has managed to carve out a 13-year professional career (and counting).
