It isn't often that the New York Red Bulls sign a player who has an entire country behind him, but that would seem to be the case with Zeiko Lewis: 17th overall pick of the MLS SuperDraft, Boston College standout, and a player for the Bermuda men's national team. When RBNY picked Lewis on Draft Day, Bermuda noticed.
