Jets already talking Rosen:
Potential Jets QB Josh Rosen leads UCLA to stunning comeback win - NY Daily News
If the Jets were originally planning to “Suck For Sam,” they may need to take a closer look at “The Rosen One.”
Potential Jets savior Josh Rosen put on a show Sunday night, throwing for four fourth-quarter touchdown passes to help UCLA overcome a 34-point second-half deficit to stun visiting Texas A&M, 45-44, at the Rose Bowl.
The Jets were one of eight teams that sent representatives to scout Rosen, according to Pete Thamel.
After a shaky start that saw UCLA fall behind 38-10 at the half, Rosen finished the game 35-of-58 passing for 491 yards and the four touchdowns.

Including USC’s Sam Darnold and Wyoming’s Josh Allen, Rosen is one of three quarterbacks whom the Jets could potentially consider drafting if they 'earn' the No. 1 overall pick.
UCLA scored on five straight possessions after trailing 44-10 with 4:08 to play in the third quarter.

UCLA got the ball back with 2:39 to go and drove 51 yards in seven plays, including an 11-yard throw and catch to tight end Caleb Wilson. Rosen capped the remarkable comeback with a fade to the far corner of the end zone after faking a spike to freeze Texas A&M's defense. JJ Molson kicked the winning extra point.

Despite missing the final six games last season due to a shoulder injury, Rosen entered the 2017 season as a Heisman contender and potential No.1 pick.
Rosen was a four-star recruit and the No. 2 pocket passer quarterback in ESPN's Class of 2015 rankings coming out of high school.
Barring an unforseen leap from second-year quarterback Christian Hackenberg, it's widely expected the Jets will select a quarterback in the first round of the 2018 draft.
