ORLANDO — UCLA head coach Jim Mora made headlines last week by suggesting the Browns should pass on his former quarterback, Josh Rosen, and instead take rival signal-caller Sam Darnold from USC.
Presented with that piece of information at the NFL’s annual meeting, Cleveland coach Hue Jackson shrugged off the report and made clear Rosen is among several passers the Browns can take with the first or fourth overall pick in the league's draft later this month.
“I’m sure Rosen’s somewhere hot,” Jackson said, laughing. “Obviously Jim’s seen them both. I don’t know that he recruited them both, but he’s seen Sam first hand, he’s seen his quarterback first hand.
