About Josh Rosen in brief
Joshua Ballinger Lippincott Rosen is an American football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. He played college football for the UCLA Bruins, earning second-team all-conference honors as a junior in the Pac-12 in 2017. Rosen was selected by the Arizona Cardinals tenth overall in 2018 NFL Draft. After declaring for the NFL draft early, he was initially a backup as a rookie for Arizona. In his lone season in Miami, he continued to struggle while playing primarily as the backup before they selected quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft. He was then released prior to the 2020 season and subsequently signed with Tampa Bay’s practice squad. He is a maternal great-great-great grandson of Joseph Wharton, an industrialist and namesake of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and thus a descendant of Thomas Cornell, progenitor of the Cornell family. Rosen had a bar mitzvah and identifies as Jewish, saying in 2016: “In retrospect, being Jewish is a big reason why I should have considered UCLA. Just because of how Jewish Hollywood is, and they really want someone to look up to because they just don’t have professional athletes.” He describes himself as “kind of an atheist.’’ Rosen grew up playing tennis; at age 12 he was the No. 1-ranked player for his age group in Southern California and top-50 in the country.
He became a top-10 player in junior rankings. During his playing career, he passed for 11,175 yards and 90 touchdowns. Rosen attended St. John Bosco High School, a Catholic high school in Bellflower, California, where he had a 4.3 GPA. He verbally committed to the Universityof California, Los Angeles in March 2014, and officially signed in September. Rosen began taking classes at UCLA in January 2015; he enrolled early so he could take part in spring practice. He beat out Jerry Neuheisel, who had three years of experience in offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone’s offense, to be the Bruins’ starting quarterback. In the 2015 season, he became the first true freshman to ever start at quarterback in a season opener for UCLA, and was named a Freshman All-American. He completed 28 of 35 passes for 351 yards and three touchdowns as UCLA defeated Virginia 34–16 in the season opener. As a junior, Rosen broke the Bruins record for single-season yards passing. He was named the Los Angeles Times Player of the Year and the Long Beach Press-Telegram Dream Team Player ofThe Year after passing for 3,186 yards, 29 touchdowns, and four interceptions. As a high school senior, Rosen was also named the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame’s Male High School Athlete of the year.
