Ten college football stars looking to roar back after injuries

Florida State safety Derwin James is one of the top college football stars returning from injury in 2017

Josh Rosen, quarterback, UCLA

As a true freshman in 2015, Rosen wowed. He had his fair share of ups and downs, but overall he was darn impressive, throwing 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while leading the Bruins to a 8-5 record.

A brutal start against the Myles Garrett-led Texas A&M defense to open the 2016 season foreshadowed what was a very frustrating season for Rosen. He ended up suffering nerve damage to his throwing shoulder in October that kept him out for the rest of the year.

Thankfully for Rosen and the Bruins, he’s fully healthy and back practicing, ready to lead the offense once again without limitations. He looked sharp during the team’s spring game, completing 14-of-18 passes for 83 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

There is a lot on the line for Rosen, who could very well be one of the top — if not the top — quarterbacks taken in the 2018 NFL Draft. In addition to his health scare, there are off-field issues some teams are reportedly concerned about (more on that here).

Simply put Rosen needs to show some maturity overall this year — on and off the field — as the face of UCLA football.
