New coach Steve Wilks said in May that the likelihood of 10th overall pick Josh Rosen starting in 2018 isnt a longshot and gushed to reporters that the signal-caller has the mindset of a vet.
Rosens 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.
Peterson added that he was pleasantly surprised by Rosens maturity at camp, given the generally unfounded negative hubbub about his personality during the pre-draft evaluation stage.
Thats high praise – even though, since Peterson was drafted by the Cardinals in 2011, Ryan Lindley and Logan Thomas are the only quarterbacks to be drafted by the team.
