Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown celebrates as he runs in for a touchdown on an interception against the New York Giants during the first half of an NFL football game in Arlington, Texas , Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024.

“He said it right. He said I’m not quite 11, but I’m 13,” Overshown said. “And that’s all we need. We don’t need two No. 11s. We got an 11, and we got a 13.”Parsons was coming off his second All-Pro nod in his two NFL seasons when the Cowboys drafted Overshown in the third round last year. He tore a knee ligament in a preseason game a few months later.
“He did grow, whether he realized it or not,” McCarthy said. “Just like any player that comes into the league, there are things you just have to go through in your first year. The second year ... the expectation of what every day brings is easier. He’s been a very mature, consistent player and person for us.”
First-year defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer said it was because Dallas spent most of the game in base packages that didn’t include Overshown.
