Benny Award 2: The Nelly
By definition, the Nelly Award goes to the United player who has made the most significant
positive impact in his first year with the club. The award's namesake Ryan Nelsen became a starter
shortly into his first season with United, and would go on to guide the team to an MLS Cup in
2004.
It's a testament to the total failure of our 2008 acquisitions that not one of last year's nominees
is still on the team.
