FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Jordan McCrary is a fast learner.
The rookie right back got his first taste of the professional game last Wednesday afternoon in the New England Revolution’s preseason opener against the San Jose Earthquakes. McCrary spent much of his 45-minute showing trying to adjust to the speed of play. Head coach Jay Heaps said the 10th overall pick in this year’s SuperDraft was “a little bit naïve defensively.” There was work to be done.
So McCrary got to work.
Just three days later in the Revolution’s third preseason contest against the Vancouver Whitecaps, McCrary was already making the necessary adjustments.
