UCLA Football: Josh Rosen is one of NFL.com’s top 50 players for 2017
NFL.com came out with a list of the 150 best college football players for 2017 and UCLA Football’s junior quarterback Josh Rosen is high on that list.
A lot will be expected from the soon-to-be third year QB Josh Rosen as he leads the UCLA Football team into battle this fall.
Rosen is a former 5-star quarterback that led the Bruins to 8 wins in his first season. Unfortunately, the sequel to that performance was darker than The Empire Strikes Back as Rosen was injured six games into the season. He required surgery on his shoulder and was done for 2016.
Well now the strong-armed Bruin is fully healed and better than ever. And because of that, Rosen is getting a lot of recognition as one of the top players in college football.

NFL.com is one entity that is recognizing Rosen who made their top 150 players of 2017 list. Not only did he make a list, but he was one of the top players recognized coming in at #15.
The article’s author, Chad Reuter, even had some encouraging words about Rosen and how he might end 2017, “By the end of this season, I won’t be surprised if Rosen is in the running for a trip to New York City for the Heisman Trophy presentation.”
He already has the skills, but now Rosen has experience. And taking into consideration the disappointing 2016 season, Rosen should be ready to come out this fall and Fight Fight Fight!
The Bruins have to adapt to their third offensive philosophy in as many years with the hiring of new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch. Though it may be a rocky start, the Bruins have the Rosen’s talent to help lead them through any adjustments.
