2021 Season Review: Andre Blake
It’s been a little over eight years since the Philadelphia Union selected UConn All-American Andre Blake as the first pick in the MLS SuperDraft. In most American sports, the weight of being the top pick carries extra weight and responsibility: the face of the franchise, the worst-to-first engine, the wind blowing in a new direction.
Few MLS top draft picks have lived up to the hype. For every Maurice Edu and Steve Zakuani there have been five Chris Carrieris and Danny Mwangas.
