David Johnson advises Rosen to 'ignore' Murray rumors

With the NFL draft a mere two weeks away, Josh Rosen will soon learn whether he's still the Arizona Cardinals' franchise quarterback.

The current offseason has been dominated by speculation that Arizona might use the No. 1 overall pick on Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Kyler Murray, displacing Rosen in the process. And the speculation will only increase on Wednesday, with Murray expected to visit the Cardinals while Rosen participates in their offseason program.

It all makes for soap opera-level drama, but Rosen's teammates are advising him to drown out the noise.

"I told him, 'Ignore it,'" Cardinals running back David Johnson said to ESPN's Josh Weinfuss. "I definitely figured out how to ignore it, and I know he has, too. We don't really know what's going on and what they're talking about with the draft, so come ready to play, learn the playbook and let the chips fall."

Johnson and Rosen, who was selected 10th overall in last year's draft, have spent just one season together and it ended in a 3-13 disaster. But the former All-Pro rusher said the young QB is a "great leader" and that he's proven to be wise beyond his years.

"Everyone says he's a young guy but he's very mature," Johnson added of Rosen. "He knows it's a business. I know he knows how to handle (it)."
