Arguably the best American ever produced…

A big SHOUT OUT to @clint_dempsey on staying true to himself throughout his career, which led to him being one of the best players we have ever produced in this country.

It was an honor to play with and against you, my friend.

I remember first time I saw @clint_dempsey play. He was a long-haired rookie so I already liked him, but when I saw the courage & personality in his game I immediately knew he was special. Players like Clint only come around so often, feel so fortunate I got to play by his side. pic.twitter.com/HZyWjz4MCs
