The Dallas Cowboys have officially started OTAs, and some players are rocking new jersey numbers heading into the 2025 NFL season.
Example?
DeMarvion Overshown, who is rehabbing from a serious knee injury, was on the field as an observer during team drills at The Star this week.
Overshown could be seen sporting his new jersey No. 0 … going back to his college number at the University of Texas.
This will be the third jersey number Overshown will wear in a Cowboys uniform after he was No. 35 during his rookie season, and No. 13 during his breakout 2024 season. He will become the first player in franchise history to wear No. 0.
Jerry Jones (kinda) claimed the number belonged to the Cowboys mascot Rowdy (who is actually 00) before allowing any player to sport the sweet look.
And Overshown impressions?
“Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown made an appearance at practice and worked a bit with the rehab group. He was moving around well and looks to have added some upper body mass,” Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Nick Harris posted on X.
Overshown putting on good weight in his upper body while recovering from a lower body injury proves he is committed to continuing to improve himself despite not being 100 percent.
Overshown’s resiliency is unquestionable, and when he returns to the field, he will join a talented linebacker room featuring Kenneth Murray Jr., Marist Liufau, Jack Sanborn, Buddy Johnson, and rookies Shemar James and Justin Barron.
Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has been known as a linebacker whisperer around the league and Cowboys Nation should expect highly productive linebacker play from the Cowboys this season.
The Cowboys are hoping that “Agent 0” makes a speedy recovery and returns better than ever.
