Two quarterbacks, two top-10 picks, one city.
For months, one question loomed over the college football landscape in Southern California: Is Sam Darnold or Josh Rosen the better pro prospect? The NFL has spoken, as Darnold went No. 3 overall to the New York Jets on Thursday and Rosen No. 10 to the Arizona Cardinals.
It will likely be several years before we find out who's actually the better pro. In fact, it might be several months before either sees any significant playing time. But the foundation is there (and it is a bit different) for both players to blossom into franchise quarterbacks.
Their respective outlooks were a common theme in our weekly "Ask The Expert" Q&As from last fall with Pac-12 Networks analyst Yogi Roth. Here is a look at some of his best insights on the potential NFL stars.
