MLS SuperDraft retrospective: Checking in on the state of the 2020 draft class

Harry Kessler - New England - celebrates his goal - close up

The SuperDraft is set to roll around again, and part of our annual lead-up ceremony is to remind you how all of the 2020 picks have fared since hearing their names called last January.


Though the number of players who made at least one MLS game day selection remained the same from 2019, the total number of league games played by those draft picks fell off a good bit due to the vagaries of a very odd year.


It's quite reasonable to think the same cause can help explain why fewer 2020 draftees can still be found on an MLS roster one year later when compared to the 2019 group. On the other hand, the tally of SuperDraft choices who ended up signing for a USL outfit climbed by one.

Of the 77 players selected:


  • 28 - Made an MLS roster (same as 2019)
  • 6 - Appeared in 1+ MLS games (down 16)
  • 5 - Appeared in 10+ MLS games (down 3)
  • 3 - Appeared in 20+ MLS games (same as 2019)
  • 18 - Currently on an MLS roster (down 6)
  • 8 - Loaned to a USL Championship club (down 9)
  • 31 - Signed by a USL Championship club (up 1)
