Josh Rosen may have set an unofficial record for being the talk of Pac-12 Conference media days without having said a word.
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 in the words of 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 inside a ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center, referring to the shoulder injury that ended Rosen’s season in October after only six games.
