Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen was not happy about being the fourth quarterback taken in the 2018 NFL Draft. It appears he is still bitter about it with the start of the 2018 NFL season rapidly approaching.
The Cardinals selected Rosen No. 10 overall in this year's draft. According to Adam Schein of SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio, he is still intent on getting back at the teams that passed on him.

I drive myself crazy enough watching my own film. All that stuff is on the side, but I definitely won’t forget it, I promise you.”
Rosen's comments may seem somewhat bitter. However, they are certainly understandable given his tumultuous draft process. He was widely considered the purest passer and most NFL-ready quarterback in his class. Unfortunately, it seemed his talent was outweighed by concerns about his character on and off the field. That said, he may be frustrated with the reasoning behind why his draft stock dropped.
It is safe to assume that Rosen's wrath is not directed at all nine teams, rather just the ones that selected a quarterback. This would leave the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills on his radar. Before he can do that, he must first beat out quarterback Sam Bradford for the starting job. Although Mayfield will likely serve as a backup to start his career, Darnold and Allen are poised to lead their teams in Week 1.
