DeMarvion Overshown will officially be wearing number 0 for the Dallas Cowboys.
History has been made for the Dallas Cowboys. For the first time ever the Cowboys will have a player wearing number 0. It will, unsurprisingly, be linebacker DeMarvion Overshown.

This will come as no surprise to anyone who followed Overshown’s career at the University of Texas where he wore the number. Wearing number 0 has become more vogue over the last few years, so much so that the NFL began allowing players to do it in 2023. Overshown was a logical choice to wear it as he was drafted by the team that year, but Dallas has not had anyone wear it, partly because Rowdy (yes, the mascot) wears 00. I’m serious, unfortunately.
It appears that those days are gone as the Cowboys are now letting Overshown don the digit, whenever we do see him again (he may miss all of the 2025 season, but we will obviously see as it goes along). For what it’s worth, it appears that this has been in the works for a while as Overshown posted about “news” developing last week and noted an announcement was coming, but then he got mysteriously quiet on social media. Who knows what went into that.
