Rosen reminds me of Manziel, and not in a good way.

At least Manziel won the Hei$man, and during his time in college his program reached the highest point it has recently seen.  Manziel didn't really become combustible until after A&M....

LOL the implication there is that A&M's standards are lower than the NFL's.  :D

I'm willing to bet that Rosen will be nothing like Manziel. No substance abuse issues that we're aware of. Seems to care about people other than himself (teammates). I suspect he is learning a lot from the lack of Ucla success ( regardless of whether it's his fault). I think that Richard Sherman is a far better model for him, despite the obvious different backgrounds. And yes Sherman was less outspoken in college....probably because his future was a lot less certain so he had to be more careful. I hope (and think)  Sherman and Rosen team up one day to help less fortunate college athletes, but only time will tell.
