He projects as a core NFL special teamer and subpackage rush/drop linebacker.

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.

Strengths
  • Made huge strides at the position from 2021 to 2022.
  • Displays adequate patience to diagnose and process.
  • Hustles downhill to meeting point when he trusts his eyes.
  • Excellent awareness to routes when dropping into coverage.
  • Athletic blitzer when his number is called.
Weaknesses
  • Frame is sleek but a little slender.
  • Will need to bolster his play strength for NFL.
  • Must become more proactive attacking blocks.
  • Has trouble sitting down and leveraging his run fits.
  • Needs to get off the block more cleanly to tackle.
  • Allows too many broken tackles in space.

I think he could develop into a starter eventually, he certainly has a role as a rookie but probably only playing about 33% of the snaps, it'll really depend on what Quinn has in mind for his downhill explosiveness.

I bet there aren’t a lot of owners who introduced themselves to their 3rd round picks as Pap Pap.

Hard to imagine the other adults in the room biting their tongues as Jerry reverts to his old ways.

Wouldn't it be great if one of them said, "Hey you old fuck. You want to win or not? Go have another glass of Wild Turkey and let us handle this."
