Josh Rosen is one of the most coveted prospects in the 2018 NFL Draft. What are the UCLA Bruins star’s key strengths and weaknesses entering the Combine?

With roughly two months remaining until the 2018 NFL Draft, Josh Rosen is earning praise as one of the top prospects in his class. Some believe him to be the best quarterback on the board, which could prove to be the case.
