He played in NFL Europe for the Barcelona Dragons and the Amsterdam Admirals from 1998 through 2004. He also played preseason with the New York Jets during 2003.[1]

His father, Carlos Rosado Stevens, was a wide receiver for the Águilas Reales de UNAM from 1970 to 1974, and later served as the president of ONEFA, the Mexican college football league, from 2008 to 2011.[2] The younger Rosado began playing the sport at the age of seven.[3] He played college football for the Aztecas UDLAP, winning three consecutive ONEFA national championships between 1995 and 1997.[2] He also earned his degree in business administration.[2]

Coming out of college, Rosado joined the Barcelona Dragons of NFL Europe in 1998 after a pair of successful tryouts.[2][4] He played seven seasons in the league, becoming the second Mexican national to play in the league.[5] He was named the National (non-American) offensive player of the year in 2003.[3][6] Rosado was invited to training camp by the New York Jets in 2003, but did not make the final roster.[7][8]
