DeMarvion Overshown a bright spot on Cowboys’ defense in 2024

Overshown, the 2023 third-round pick out of Texas, missed his entire rookie season after sustaining a torn ACL in his left knee during the preseason. The 24-year-old made a full recovery and has been a bright spot on the Cowboys’ defense this season. Entering Monday, Overshown had tallied 84 tackles (52 solo), eight tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks, one pick six and a forced fumble.

Overshown is the third Cowboy to record at least five sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble in the same season, joining DeMarcus Ware (2006) and Greg Ellis (1999), per Todd Archer of ESPN.

“We’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg really,” head coach Mike McCarthy recently said. “I’m so impressed with him, and in his consistency, in his approach, and that’s just going to keep putting him in the position to progress. Frankly, we need to give him more opportunities because he obviously can make plays from the edge also.”
