My Take
What I admire about John Tolkin is the unglamorous shape of his career. A left-back from small-town Chatham, New Jersey, who clawed his way to the US national team, an Olympic appearance, and a move to German football is exactly the kind of grinder I root for. Fullbacks rarely get the highlight reels, yet they cover the most ground and shoulder both defense and overlapping runs. Born in 2002, he is still early in his arc, and players who go abroad young tend to harden into something better. I find his steady, no-shortcuts trajectory genuinely easy to respect.
