When the Dallas Cowboys drafted DeMarvion Overshown in the third round in 2023, the thought was that he would be an immediate addition to a linebacker room that desperately needed his services. The flashes were there in the preseason, but Overshown suffered a torn ACL and went to the shelf. Of course, the Cowboys were cautious with his recovery. Now that the bandaid has been taken off, we’ve gotten a weekly dose of what Overshown can do on the football field, and it’s extremely pleasing to the eye.
The former Texas Longhorn didn’t waste time making an impact. In the Cowboys season opener against the Cleveland Browns, Overshown only played 44% of the snaps, but he tallied 11 tackles and a sack. All Overshown has done since then is continue to elevate his game week by week to the point that he is currently second on the Cowboys with 84 tackles and in sacks with five. Even when he doesn’t get to the quarterback, Overshown is making life difficult for them with 17 pressures and 10 hurries in his 67 pass-rush snaps so far this season.
