With Josh Rosen, always expect the unexpected.

Rosen delivered his latest surprise Tuesday after UCLA’s first spring football practice.

The outspoken quarterback was uncharacteristically restrained, guarded almost, as he answered questions. He kept his inner LaVar Ball in check.

Whatever visions Rosen has of a Heisman Trophy or a conference championship, he wouldn’t say. Whatever dreams he has about his NFL future, he wouldn’t share.

This was the same player who went into his sophomore season last year declaring that the Bruins were good enough to challenge for a national championship.

A season-ending shoulder operation can change a person like that, especially a 20-year-old.
