UCLA football’s junior quarterback took to Twitter to refute a claim hat he was leaving the Bruins and heading for the 2018 NFL Draft.
Always check your sources. More importantly, if possible, check the source of information. That is the issue today as a football outlet has apparently made the claim that UCLA football’s stud quarterback was foregoing his final season of eligibilty and heading for the NFL Draft.

According to WalterFootball.com, “multiple sources tell WalterFootball.com that Rosen will skip his senior year and enter the 2018 NFL Draft.”
The only problem is that these sources were not named, cited or linked to. This got back to Rosen who took to Twitter who refuted the claim.
No I haven't....

So there it is. As of now, Josh Rosen is not leaving UCLA for the NFL Draft, or more accurately, he has not decided if he is leaving UCLA.
Right now, Rosen is preparing to play in UCLA’s final game of the season agaisnt Kansas State In the Cactus Bowl on December 26. Despite many college football pundits advising Rosen to skip the game and focus on preparing for the NFL Draft (even though he has not decided on it), Rosen said several weeks ago that he was going to play in a bowl if the Bruins became eligible.
Nearly two weeks ago, UCLA defeated Cal to go 6-6 on the season. This last weekend it was announced the Bruins would play in the postseason, once again facing Kansas State, a team they played in the Alamo Bowl three seasons ago.
