Josh Rosen may have set an unofficial record for being a central topic at Pac-12 media days without having appeared before the media.
Two years ago, there was buzz about UCLA’s hotshot freshman quarterback. Last year, it was his posts on social media lampooning Donald Trump and the money-grubbing nature of college athletics. On Wednesday, a different side of Rosen emerged as told by his coach, Jim Mora: a more modest one.
“Certainly, being injured and having football kind of removed from his life as a player for the time that he did affected him, humbling himself to a certain degree, in accepting coaching,” Mora said, referring to the shoulder injury that ended Rosen’s season last October after only six games.
