Longhorns Ex DeMarvion Overshown Praised by Cowboys Micah Parsons

DeMarvion Overshown is impressing Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons early on

Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons is arguably the best defensive player in the NFL right now, alongside Aaron Donald and a handful of others. 

So, when he is impressed with someone, particularly a rookie, it should speak volumes about that players performance and capabilities.

And according to Parsons, one player that has really stood out has been former Texas Longhorns linebacker, DeMarvion Overshown, who impressed last weekend. 

“One guy I know y’all saw him out there (Saturday) was (Overshown),” Parsons said. “Man, the way he’s gravitated to me. I’m like, ‘Man, just let it go.’ You see a flash. You see him shoot a gap. I’m like, ‘Bro, just let it go all the time. Stop thinking, just play your game.’ ”

That’s how you show that you have a frickin playmaker.’ That’s the standard. That’s how you do it. That’s how you ball out. I couldn’t be happier for him.”

Overshown has shown those capabilities in the past with the Horns. And now, it appears he is doing it with the Cowboys as well. 

Will Overshown make it into the Cowboys rotation at linebacker early enough to make an instant impact?

That remains to be seen. 

But with Parsons's knack for disrupting offenses, along with the Cowboys' stellar defensive pass rush talent, the former Longhorns star will have every chance to prove that he can be a difference-maker in Dallas.

And that excites Parsons very much.

“It feels like the gates have finally opened and there’s a flood coming now.”
