Josh Rosen Says He Wants to Win 6 Titles, 7 If Tom Brady Wins Another Super Bowl
UCLA quarterback and 2018 draft prospect Josh Rosen recently said his goal in the NFL is to win the most games and titles in history, according to Sam Alipour of ESPN The Magazine:
"I want to be great—in everything I do. As far as football, I always looked up to Kellen Moore of Boise State. I thought it was the coolest thing that he was the winningest QB of all time. I thought that was a cool word: winningest. So I want to be the winningest QB in NFL history. I want to win the most games and most championships. I'd say six titles, but if Tom Brady gets six, I'll say seven."
Rosen also believes he's the top quarterback in this year's draft class.
"I'm the best QB in the draft," he said. "A lot of guys are flashier, but I think I'm the most efficient, monotonously consistent QB in this draft. [Aaron] Rodgers has some flair, but if you watch Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, there's nothing that's explosive or Johnny Manziel-like. It's just quarterbacking."
He addressed one of the common critiques of his personality—that he's cocky:
"You have to be. But you have to know where it plays and where it doesn't. If you're talking to reporters, pull your foot off the pedal. In a game, if the window's closing on your receiver, sometimes you need to dial it up and say f--k that, I'm going to get the ball in there. I'm supremely confident in my abilities as a quarterback."
And he refuted the claims that he isn't a good teammate.
"Just ask my teammates," he said. "They love...I don't even want to say that. It'd be jerkish to say, 'I'm f--king sick and my teammates would reaffirm me because I'm dope!' Talk to my teammates. I'm confident they recognize how much I care for them."
He also broke down his leadership style.
"I'm not rah-rah," he explained. "I want to develop individual relationships to understand how certain people react. Does he respond to a kick in the butt, or does he need encouragement because he's self-critical? I take the time and effort to get the best out of every individual, not out of fear but out of love."
Rosen is widely considered one of the top quarterbacks in the class of 2018, joining players such as USC's Sam Darnold, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield and Wyoming's Josh Allen. He's also thought of as one of the top prospects in this month's draft in Arlington, Texas, period.
B/R's Matt Miller has Rosen as the No. 7 overall player on his big board and the third quarterback behind Darnold and Allen, respectively. Bucky Brooks of NFL.com believes Rosen is the best signal-caller in the draft, noting, "From his A-plus arm talent and flawless mechanics to his exceptional intelligence and football aptitude, Rosen has always checked off all of the boxes as a potential franchise quarterback."
And both Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay of ESPN think the New York Jets will select Rosen at No. 3 overall.
Wherever he ends up, Rosen is ready for his next chapter.
"I want to find purpose. One of the reasons I left school early is I felt like I was chasing a bunch of different things: trying to get A's in class, being good on the field, networking professionally," he said. "Right now, I want to be the best QB that I possibly f--king can be.
"When the NFL decides I suck, I want to be the absolute best at the next thing in my life."
