He also knows nothing is guaranteed for him.
He’ll have to earn a spot in a room that includes three experienced QBs in Deshaun Watson, Jacoby Brissett and Josh Dobbs, and he’ll have to do it by making the most of his training camp reps.
Those reps might be limited to start for Rosen. Stefanski said Wednesday he plans to give the bulk of camp reps to Watson and Brissett, but when the ball is in his hands, Rosen won’t take it for granted. The constant shuffling of teams has prevented him from attaining a consistent intake of reps under the same system.
“My mission is to learn the offense and earn those reps and play football,” he said. “I’ve been with 3-4 teams the last couple years and haven’t gotten a whole lot of reps. I think over time, it’ll be good to put my head down, prove I’m an asset in the room and just play football.”
Despite a lack of reps, Rosen still feels he’s learned a lot from his time with other teams.
He’s been in quarterback rooms with Tom Brady, Matt Ryan and Ryan Fitzpatrick, who he highlighted as someone who helped him learn how to slow the game down. Rosen was the backup to Fitzpatrick in 2019 and early part of 2020 with Miami.
“The lightbulb went off when I was around Ryan,” he said. “A lot of (what he taught me) has to do with when to make the game complicated and when to make it simple. At times, you can overcomplicate the game, and a lot of it is about keeping it simple when it needs to be simple.
“Then, you have third downs, red zones and your big plays where you need to see more of the field. A lot of it is being fast, efficient and knowing your keys.”
Rosen will have a chance to apply what he’s learned during training camp.
It’s the next opportunity he has in a career that’s been full of tough lessons, but he’s ready to prove he’s grown from them in a Browns uniform.
“I’ve been in a lot of different systems, and I think I’ve learned a lot of football the last few years,” he said. “I’m really just trying to get some reps to apply what I’ve…
