Ex-Spurs Player DeAndre Yedlin

It's not a matter of position for Yedlin, it's a matter of where his skills fit in a formation. He has pace, he can beat a defender with straight line speed and cross, but little else - at this time. He is not a scoring threat. He is not a dribbler. He is getting better at defense. Good Man defense, but questionable Team defense.
In a 442, his skills fit as a RM - similar to a Lennon-type player. This is where he fits for TeamUSA. In a 4231 that Spurs play, he would need to play as a RB - similar to Rose.

Yes, and he was involved in the most entertaining part of a dreary game.

Good to see Yedlin getting regular time at RB. IMO, he has both the physical traits and the instincts to make it as an "attacking" FB in the PL. Having watched him at various times over the past 3 years or so, the improvement in both his defense and his passing is very evident. By no the finished product, but he is beginning to show why we took a flyer on him.
 
Alternatively if he can't cut it in a Premiership side with low expectations, why should we think he can do the business for us? This is a challenge he should be relishing.
 
I hear he's well thought of up there but I haven't really studied him.

Was it Poch that wanted him?
