Generation adidas players, including New York's Josmer "Jozy" Altidore and David Arvizu, are automatically protected and exempt from selection. Coming into this year, Marvell Wynne was also a Generation adidas player but it was determined by the MLS Competition Committee that he graduated from the G.A. program due to the significant playing time he saw in the 2006 season.
