On the new practice fields outside the sparkling new UCLA football facility, there is only one sliver of shade.
Josh Rosen is sitting in it.
While coach Jim Mora addresses the media Sunday morning in front of a UCLA banner, Rosen sits downfield in a darkened corner, sipping on water, silently waiting his turn.
Is that really him? He has been completely out of the news all summer, he didn’t attend Pac-12 Conference media days last week, and has sent only six tweets since the end of last season, so a closer look is required.
