DeMarvion Overshown LB/H-Safety Texas​


by Drew Boylhart • January 25, 2023​



STRENGTHS
DeMarvion is the new “cover hybrid linebacker safety” with the athletic skills of a receiver. He is also a good tackler and has the instincts, and high football IQ to make plays all over the field. DeMarvion shows the leadership skills and communication talent to be a leader for your defense. He shows the burst to the ball, the chase-down speed, and the quickness needed to be a playmaker. DeMarvion has the wing span of an Albatross and that makes him very disruptive in coverage and when using him blitzing or on the line of scrimmage as a pass rusher. He’s a 6’4” quick-twitch athlete, who can play multiple positions on your defense and is a playmaker. The Albatross is coming to the NFL in the form of DeMarvion Overshown.
CONCERNS
DeMarvion right now is not a great pass rusher when used coming off the edge. He lacks the hand techniques and ability to shed blocks and strength to hold the edge. Nevertheless, his speed and quickness along with his long arms and long stride will scare the crap out of most quarterbacks into making bad decisions. Because of DeMarvion’s long Albatross-like arms and lack of techniques he struggles to get off blocks and make tackles. Once again DeMarvion is an excellent open-field tackler and in a defense that keeps him free to make tackles, he will impact.
BOTTOM LINE: 1.47
The truth is, DeMarvion is a hell of a football player and that is all you really need to know about him. He reminds me a lot of the Charges Derwin James, who I consider one of the top five players in the 2018 draft and everyone told me I was crazy. Derwin was the 17th pick in that draft and I wonder if DeMarvion will go that high because he is listed as a linebacker and unless a team uses a 4/2/5 defense, I’m not sure Coaches will see how DeMarvion fits into their schemes and this could affect his draft status. I don’t worry about schemes when it comes to the draft unless I think a player is limited to a scheme to impact. DeMarvion is not limited to a scheme to impact. He is a multi-scheme, multi-position player who can impact and help run your defense on the field. The real question is, how will the team that selects him use him? For me, the answer to that question is…all over the dam field in a different spot on every down and distance.

I like him, but I wish they'd traded up for Trenton Simpson if they wanted LB.
