My Take

Perry Kitchen earns my respect as a player who turned promise into substance. Born on a leap day in Indianapolis, he won a 2010 national title at Akron, went third overall in the MLS SuperDraft, and gave D.C. United 187 games and a U.S. Open Cup as a defensive midfielder. That is an unglamorous role, the spine of a team rather than its face, and I have always loved the players who do the dirty work. His steady climb from prospect to dependable anchor is exactly the kind of career I find quietly admirable.

Overview
