While ESPN named Overshown as a Dallas Cowboys breakout candidate, the source argues relying on him would be irresponsible given his injury history. Overshown suffered a torn ACL in the 2023 preseason, then a torn ACL/MCL/PCL in 2024 after 13 weeks of dominant play (eight TFLs in 13 games, clearing 19 mph top speed seven times). Upon returning Week 11 in 2025, he regressed significantly with only one TFL in six games and never clearing 19 mph. The source compares his situation to Randy Gregory, suggesting a philosophy of "whatever you get is icing on the cake" rather than relying on him as a breakout. Though further distance from injury may help recovery, the source believes odds are higher for other Cowboys players to break out, as Overshown's 2024 stretch remains an outlier across his career.PositiveProjectionJul 5, 2026
