For years, Josh Rosen was defined by one label: NFL bust.

For Bruins fans who watched Rosen under center less than a decade ago, it’s another reminder that success rarely follows a straight line.
At UCLA, Rosen looked destined for NFL stardom. The former Bruin threw for 9,341 yards (ranking fourth in school history) and 59 touchdowns in just three seasons (fifth).
His 2017 campaign remains one of the best by a UCLA quarterback, setting the Bruins single season record for passing yards (3,756) while engineering unforgettable performances, including the historic comeback win over Texas A&M.
His NFL career unraveled quickly.
After a rookie season in which the Cardinals went 3-13, the team drafted his replacement, Kyler Murray with the No. 1 pick, the very next season. Rosen bounced between multiple organizations, including the Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings practice squad. By 2022, his football career had effectively ended before turning 26.
