While that might be a big adjustment, picking up ht... the Baltimore Ravens' defense hasn't been, Mosley said. The Ravens selected Mosley with the 17th choice in the NFL Draft last month.

"We played a complex defense under coach Saban," Mosley said. "A lot of things we did at Alabama, they do here with the Baltimore Ravens. I haven't been through the whole defense yet. But when I get through it, get through the preseason, earn my stripes as far as a rookie player and do what I need to do on special teams, I'll be ready to play."

Mosley is expected to start at weakside linebacker as a rookie for the Ravens.

CRIMSON TIDE PLAYERS ON K.J. Wright Navy Jersey THE SIDELINES

Among the former Alabama players in the NFL who did not participate in team OTAs last week were Baltimore Ravens nose tackle Terrence Cody, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (Foley) and Houston Texans defensive end Jeoffrey Pagan.

This isn't a problem for Jones, who is recovering from a foot fracture that caused him to miss 11 games last season. But Cody and Pagan are less secure in their positions.

Cody is a four year veteran who continues to be hampered by hip problems. Cody had hip surgery last offseason, but said he felt healthy when he stayed with the Ravens on a one year contract for $730,000 in March. Since then, Cody has undergone another hip surgery.

"He's got a chance to be back for training camp," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. "He's rehabbing every day, doing a good job with that."

The Texans drafted Pagan in the sixth round last month. He's been out while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.

Simmons is trying to make player evaluations and teach special teams play during Cincinnati's OTAs, which continue this week. He used cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (Gadsden City) as an example of special teams ready players.
