DeMarvion Overshown
Texas Longhorns
One-Liner:
A rangy stacked backer whose athletic profile lends him to versatile usage on the football field.
Evaluation:
Lengthy frame with an athletic build but sturdy base. Frequently plays as the overhang when faced with 3x1 sets. Some edge alignment where he can run the hoop en route to the quarterback. Range as a zone dropper, length makes the hook-curl area off-limits for quarterbacks. Can flow to the boundary and set an edge as a sideline-to-sideline player. Aggressive tackler, velocity, and explosion upon contact but typically controlled. Takes poor angles both in coverage and open-field tackling. Plays too loosely, not a lot of juice or twitch, making him look like he's in slow motion at times. Late to read and react. Too late to get off his landmark in coverage or trigger on goal-line runs. Hips are tight, labors when tasked with changing direction quickly. Overshown has a lot of traits that teams will desire. His length is rarely seen for typical inside linebackers, making him an asset in pass coverage. Pairing this with a fiery demeanor that shows up on every tackle and some edge alignment versatility and we have tools to work with. A big question will be how well he tests in the pre-draft process as well as his performance during Senior Bowl week in Mobile.
Grade:
4th Round
