Moses seeks to become proven commodity 

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- There were no expectations on Packers outside linebacker Dezman Moses last season. Any positive contribution that the undrafted rookie made was a bonus for Green Bay's defense.

That's all going to change next season for Moses. He's no longer an unknown player. He's proven what he can do on the field and will be counted on by the Packers to play an important role in their defense.

"Next year will be a little different and expectations are a little higher," Moses told FOXSportsWisconsin.com this week. "But that allows me to work just as hard to go out and become the player I know I can be in my mind. I give a ton of credit to the Packers for giving me an opportunity. Most guys in my position don't even get a chance to show what they have."

Moses met every goal of his as a rookie. He wanted to make the active roster and accomplished that with relative ease following a very good training camp. He wanted to make a few impact plays during the season and successfully did so with four sacks and one forced fumble.

"As an undrafted guy, those were pretty high expectations I had for myself," Moses said. "My expectations for myself are always higher than what others expect. I've already set goals for next season and am working toward those in the offseason. If you do that every offseason, you'll become a better player."

Moses, 24, identified what his own weaknesses were in his rookie season. He believes he needs better flexibility, a quicker burst and quicker movements in order to increase his explosiveness. Moses also noted that consistency is an area that he could improve on.

"If you get complacent, that's when other guys climb above you," Moses said. "If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. I've been working my tail off in the offseason to surpass expectations again."
