Nathan Byrne

Byrne held his own at right-back during his second full season as a starter in Charlotte. He logged two assists, 80 clearances and 72 crosses, only missing three matches in the regular season due to a minor muscle injury. He averaged 15 accurate forward zone passes per contest, maintaining a 79-percent pass accuracy. With Charlotte set to have little change to its back line, look for him to have a similar campaign. On the downside, he has no goals and just three assists across 64 starts the last two seasons.
