    ... and then there is the Revs.

    There is a chart at the end showing USL minutes, where the Revs (1203) are actually ahead of 3 other MLS clubs (NYC, MIN, MON). But a little research shows they omitted Matt Turner, who played 20 games for Richmond this year (1800 min) which would put the Revs at 3003 mins. Even that only moves them above 3 additional clubs (COL, CMB, DAL).

    Code:
    Charlotte Independence
    Donnie Smith: 10 GP (9 GS) 803 min
    
    San Antonio FC
    Zach Heriveaux: 5 GP (2 GS) 214 min
    
    Tulsa Roughnecks FC
    Brian Wright: 3 GP (2 GS) 186 min
    
    Richmond Kickers
    Matt Turner: 20 GP (20 GS) 1800 min
