While DeMarvion Overshown is returning from a serious injury that prematurely ended his 2024 season, he has yet to get unleashed by defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.

Since returning to the field in November, Overshown has rushed the passer just twice.

When Zimmer realized what a weapon Overshown was as a blitzer, he blitzed him 51 times in 2024.

D Mo had 5 sacks, 8 TFL, 5 QB hits, 20 pressures.

In 2025 DMo has only blitzed TWICE (per PFR) since returning, 4 games.

0 sacks, 1 TFL, 0 QB hits, 0 pressures.
