New coach Steve Wilks said in May that the likelihood of 10th overall pick Josh Rosen starting in 2018 isn't a longshot and gushed to reporters that the signal-caller has the "mindset of a vet." Rosen's fellow rookie Christian Kirk said that if Rosen were to start Week 1 under center over veteran Sam Bradford, the Cards would have just as good a shot to win right away.
But as first-year Cardinals, Wilks and Kirk are new to the desert. So has optimism about Rosen extended to Arizona's veterans?
If Patrick Peterson's evaluation of the Chosen One is any indication, yes, yes it has.
"I'm very impressed," Peterson said on Monday's edition of The Rich Eisen Show. "To see [Rosen] make checks and get guys in line early, I was like, 'Has this guy been here before?' I was very, very impressed of his spring camp, minicamp, OTAs. He's just been extremely sharp."
