As it turns out, Rodriguez is number one, although their quality was definitely not. If you remember all six Rodriguezes, then consider yourself an MLS super fan. Only Jorge started more than 15 games and had a good career. You have four different nationalities in that group as well. Wells Thompson, a Revs first rounder, is the only player in the 2007 Superdraft who has one of these last names.
