He could wind up in Denver, or Buffalo, or East Rutherford, N.J., but former UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen was unmistakably Southern Californian as he shuffled around under cloudless skies in flip-flops and a baggy hoodie.
But Rosen did his best work Thursday in cleats, cutting through a light breeze with a wide array of passes, deftly rolling out and hitting his receivers in stride, and, moments after finishing his on-campus workout, hoisting his mom off her feet with a bear hug.
Rosen actually turned 21 last month, and is expected to go in the first round of next month's NFL draft, perhaps in the top 10.
