Josh Rosen

The UCLA alum’s athletic skills might be surpassed only by his confidence. In an interview with ESPN the Magazine, Rosen expressed no hesitation when asked about his status heading into the NFL draft at the end of the month. “I’m the best QB in the draft,” he told Sam Alipour. “A lot of guys are flashier, but I think I’m the most efficient, monotonously consistent QB in this draft. (Aaron) Rodgers has some flair, but if you watch Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, there’s nothing that’s explosive or Johnny Manziel-like. It’s just quarterbacking.” The draft begins April 26 with the first four picks belonging to quarterback-hungry teams: the Browns, Giants, Jets and the Browns again.
