One of the biggest questions teams had about Josh Rosen heading into the combine was whether he has the temperament and personality to thrive in the NFL. Some reports have emerged in the past year that indicate some in the NFL view Rosen’s personality as a red flag, with one NFL executive calling him “a mess off the field.”
On Sunday, Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reported that at least a couple NFL teams came away from their interviews pleasantly surprised by Rosen.
I've now heard from a couple teams #NFL teams that #UCLA QB Josh Rosen has impressed in interviews. I think some teams expected a very scripted, rehearsed guy and were happy with his attitude and honesty about his flaws.

Darnold is the most naturally gifted pure passer in this year’s draft. He doesn’t have the rocket arm of Josh Allen but can make every throw and has full confidence in himself to come through under pressure (like this).
If he really did come through looking great during interviews, then it’s going to be hard for a team needing a quarterback in the top five to say no to drafting this young man.
