Broncos host another QB: UCLA’s Rosen in Denver

The Broncos’ quarterback rounds continue. Tuesday night, former UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen dined with Broncos officials and Wednesday he visited the team’s Dove Valley training facility.

The Broncos will work out former Southern California quarterback Sam Darnold in Los Angeles on Friday, host Wyoming’s Josh Allen on a vist Monday and, the following week, bring in Heismanwinner Baker Mayfield. Mayfield will have dinner with Broncos officials April 16 and visit their facility the next day.

Since December, the Broncos have done extensive homework on the top four quarterbacks in the upcoming draft, attending bowl games and pro days while also meeting with them individuallly. Coach Vance Joseph and his staff led the North team at the Senior Bowl and spent nearly a week with Mayfield and Allen, and all four players met with the Broncos at the NFL combine in February.

Rosen, 21, is regarded by many draft analysts to be the most NFL-ready quarterback this year. Although there is no consensus No. 1 within the class, each has something that has given analysts pause. Among Rosen’s? His durability; he dealt with several knee injuries and underwent shoulder surgery in college.

“He can throw it,” Broncos general manager John Elway said at the NFL combine. “Arm talent-wise, he can throw it as good as anybody and he’s a competitor … The bottom line is you have to have confidence to play that position. So if he’s over-confident, that’s not bad.”
