The Dallas Cowboys’ 33-17 Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns saw many shining performances, but possibly the most promising one came from second-year linebacker DeMarvion Overshown.

Overshown’s big moment in the win was when he chased down Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for a sack, covering 14 yards in 2.8 seconds.

His elite speed shocked many, including fellow linebacker Micah Parsons who now projects an All-Pro year out from the former 2023 third-round pick.

“I don’t even know what happened,” Parsons told reporters, via The Athletic’s Jon Machota … “I don’t think people realize how explosive he is. He’s coming downhill with intent. He’s one of the most exciting players I’ve seen. I think he’s gonna be an All-Pro player.”

Overshown was credited with 11 tackles, six stops, one sack, and two quarterback pressures in the victory.

This is a massive step for Overshown, whose rookie season was over before it started after he tore his ACL in the preseason last year.

He entered the offseason looking to prove himself as a starter, which clearly didn’t take long.

Parsons isn’t alone in thinking Overshown is on tap for a breakout year in 2024.

Our own Cowboys analyst at A to Z Sports, Mauricio Rodriguez, thinks so too.

“Overshown is going to have a huge season for Dallas,” Rodriguez said in his Cowboys’ breakdown of Week 1’s win. “Starting by the mere fact that he’s going to be starting. This is not Damone Clark’s job anymore. …Overshown just completely wiped out any possibility of a linebacker battle.

“I thought many of us thought Overshown might be the backup to Kendricks and Clarks but after Week 1, Overshown is the guy. I thought he was going to end up being the guy but the Cowboys clearly think he’s ready and he proved that with a monster game in Week 1.”
