Moss may shift to outside linebacker

There may be a way for the Broncos to no longer waste their 2007 first-round draft pick.
Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said Monday he is looking at defensive end Jarvis Moss playing outside linebacker in the team's 3-4 system.
"We have the ability to do some things with Jarvis we haven't done in the past," Shanahan said.
A speed-rushing force for the national champion Florida Gators in 2006, Moss was the Broncos' first-round pick, 17th overall, in the 2007 draft. But he has only one career sack and has been inactive in four of his past six healthy games, dating to last season.
Moss entered training camp weighing 248 pounds, light by NFL defensive end standards.
The Broncos started employing a three defensive lineman/four linebacker set for their Week 3 game against New Orleans, at which point it only made sense for Moss to convert to outside linebacker.
The San Diego Chargers also use a 3-4 set. In the 2005 draft, they took Shawne Merriman, a defensive end from Maryland, and converted him to outside linebacker. Merriman had 39 1/2 sacks in his first three seasons.
