Overview
Former safety turned linebacker who has slowly but surely improved his feet and recognition over the last three seasons. Whether playing inside or outside, Overshown will need to get stronger and more effective at taking on blockers and tackling with security. His tape shows much improved key reading and play recognition, which could prove critical in allowing him to play at a consistently faster pace to the football. Overshown could struggle to hold up to downhill running attacks, but his instincts and blitz talent create a potential opportunity for him as a nickel/dime linebacker.

Don’t like him as an off ball LBr, but like him potentially taking over Kearse’ role as a hybrid.

They interviewed him at the combine, bringing him in a a 30 visitor, suggests legitimate target. He is more of a weakside LB to me and probably in that 3rd/4th rd range. Outside of maybe 2-3 linebackers, this class is very underwhelming at the position.

When I looked at Overshown and pictured him playing in the Dallas defense I saw him playing at Jayron Kearse position. DO's weaknesses wouldn't be so glaring if he played SS in a 3 Safety personnel imo. I like his break (click n close) on short routes and his coverage ability close to the LOS.
