New York Jets 2018 NFL Draft Prospects: Quarterbacks
By TJ Wengert
Josh Rosen, UCLA
Third up comes Josh Rosen! Another guy with NFL QB size, checking in at 6-foot-4 and weighing 220 pounds.
Rosen missed UCLA’s final six games last season with a shoulder injury. This season will be huge for Rosen to show that the injury is behind him and he’s ready to be a top pick in the draft.
Before the injury, Rosen played in six games throwing for 1,915 yards (319.16 yards per game, no big deal). He also threw for ten touchdowns and five picks. Rosen was sacked 13 times in those six games, compare that to 15 times in his whole freshman year, and you see why he was injured.
Before his freshman year, Rosen was the most hyped prospect in his class, and he lived up to it as he threw for 3,670 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, all with a 60% completion percentage.
Rosen is the guy who makes passing look the easiest. Between his foot work, his arm strength, and accuracy, he honestly makes it look effortless.
This season, Rosen just needs to show that he’s completely healthy, and show consistency with good decision-making. If he does that, then he could be the perfect fit for the New York Jets.
