Was so bummed last year when he got hurt, but man he’s athleticism is off the charts!

I remember watching that play live. Hoping Micah would close the gap and then Overshown just flies in from out of nowhere and takes Watson down. Fun to watch!

OVERSHOWN IS AWESOME!!!!!

Boyz I’m really excited at what 13 brings to the table . The speed the tackling this is the missle launcher partner # 11 needed .

If he gives us that kind of effort and performance every week, this defense is going to be hard to beat. I am looking forward to see how Overshown deals with Lamar Jackson.

I feel like 13 is the new fan favorite

Hopefully the game plan is to limit his rushing, Make Jackson beat you with his arm.

Why does that math seem off? If you figure that speed through a 40 yard dash, it comes out in the 7's.

I'm not great with math, but I think the analytics department is incorrect. How is a closing speed different from a dash? He was essentially at a stop when Watkins moved laterally.

I can be way off on this. but five yards a second in a forty is 8 seconds.

While your math is correct you're missing the fact that going from a standing start in full pads is going to be a lot slower than firing out of starting blocks in shorts and a t-shirt. What's important to note is that all the other players on the field could NOT cover that same ground in that amount of time.

Baldi is the real deal. Dude is a dying breed. LOVES this game and it shines thru in a similar way it did for Madden. HE IS my go to when breaking down players/film. I trust the guys opinion.

Not 4 seconds slower.

Ronnie, maybe so. But this is what I found out there on the interwebs.

DeMarvion Overshown runs official 4.56 40-yard dash at 2023 combine. He seems very fast to the eye, to me. But you may be correct.

My wife looked at me yesterday like I was nuts when I leaped out of my chair after that play! In all the plays yesterday that was the most impressive.

I don't think the math is accounting for the horizontal movement. It's more like 30-something yards - 14 yards and then the distance from the hash to outside the numbers.

A 2.8 35-yard dash is fast but either way it's a really dumb way to frame his speed lol

I noticed Overshown finishes. THAT for me, matters most.
