He threw for at least 300 yards in 17 career games, which was more than half of his starts at UCLA. One of the most coveted high school recruits a few years ago, Rosen stepped in and was the Bruins starting quarterback as a true freshman. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote that Rosen has the technical aspect of the position down pat, writing his “footwork and mechanics make him as pretty a quarterback as you will find in this year’s draft.” Zierlein also noted Rosen could benefit from taking the easy throw, adding he “has the pocket poise, accuracy and intelligence to become a good NFL starter, but he needs to be willing to take what defenses give him more frequently.” Stacking up: NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks listed Rosen as his top-ranked quarterback in the draft. Fellow NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock had Rosen in his No. 3 spot both before and after the combine, while ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper, Jr., also had Rosen ranked third in his latest list. Athletic Aspirations: Rosen’s parents, Charles and Elizabeth, were nationally-ranked ice skaters decades ago. Charles nearly made the 1976 Winter Olympics. Elizabeth also was the captain of her lacrosse team at Princeton.
