Dezman Moses has “caught the eye of scouts and coaches” in his short time with the team.

“I felt like this was the perfect position for me,” Moses said. “They’re looking for a pass rusher, and the position is exactly what I do — rush and play outside linebacker. So this is where I wanted to be all along.”

“I’ll tell you the guy that’s done an nice job for us picking things up and has some instinctive ability is Dezman Moses,” Capers said. “He’s done a nice job. He’ll be an interesting guy to follow how he does.”

Also worth nothing, outside linebacker Dezman Moses continues to impress. With Matthews taking it easy Tuesday, the undrafted rookie from Tulane saw some first-team reps at right outside linebacker opposite Nick Perry.

"He's been earning all his playing time," Matthews said. "Obviously, this is OTAs, but he has shown some athleticism out there. He's shown he can get after the quarterback, drop into coverage, be a natural athlete. He's got good size and strength. We'll see when the pads come on, but he's been doing well. I think he's shown the coaches as well as myself everything he needs to at the outside linebacker position."

Undrafted outside linebacker Dezman Moses was the surprise of OTAs/minicamp, something we'll get into later. By Thursday, with Clay Matthews resting, Moses was with the first-team defense at right outside linebacker. He logged a sack on Rodgers with an impressive first step. In these dog days of June -- where the line of contact is blurry -- Moses didn't take his foot off the gas.

“Whether I’m a rookie, a free agent or whatever it is, that’s just the way I play the game," Moses said. "Even in college, my senior year when my spot was solidified, I was a guy who always went out and practiced hard. That’s something that’s been instilled in me ever since I was a little guy. My dad always talked about, ‘You never want to take a day off.’ The first time anybody sees you play, you want to make a good impression. You only get one first impression.”

“I felt like this was the perfect position for me,” Moses said. “They’re looking for a pass rusher, and the position is exactly what I do — rush and play outside linebacker. So this is where I wanted to be all along.”

I think there is more to that comment that most see. I think he's saying an aggressive OLB position is best for him, which he hasn't played before.

At Iowa they don't blitz their LB too much so it's more of a conservative defense. One thing I find interesting about the Iowa defense is that don't go to the nickel package as much, but ask one of their OLBers to help in man coverage, sometimes against a WR even. (so from that time Moses might know more about coverage than others)

I find it interesting Moses got 1st team snaps over Walden. I'm wondering if they're just trying to push Walden (and maybe Zombo) or is Moses simple out playing Walden. (Matthews and Zombo haven't been practicing as they're resting/recovering or something).
