Miles Robinson experienced a breakout season in 2019. The 22-year-old center-back was drafted second overall in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft by expansion side Atlanta United. He made no appearances for the new kids on the block that season and only appeared in 10 games for them in 2018, when they went on to win MLS Cup. But 2019 was a different story.
Robinson began making significant noise in preseason under new coach Frank de Boer. He subsequently started the team’s first CCL match in Costa Rica against CS Herediano. Robinson never looked back, starting in 33 of 34 MLS regular seasons and all of the team’s other matches in the CCL and U.
