The Dallas Cowboys finally have a No. 0. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, is changing his number from No. 13 to No. 0.
No. 0 became a banned number in 1973, but it became up for grabs for the entire league when the NFL rolled back jersey number regulations in 2021. That wasn’t the case in Dallas until now with owner and general manager Jerry Jones initially calling the number “Rowdy’s number” in reference to the team’s mascot since 1996, who wears No. 00 — a digit that cannot be worn by an NFL player. Overshown had the nickname “Agent Zero” in college as a Texas Longhorn where he earned first team All-Big 12 numbers rocking the digit. Now, he gets to return to No. 0 for Year 3 in 2025.
“As soon as they changed the policy where you can now wear No. 0 in the NFL, I just knew it was meant to be,” Overshown said, via DallasCowboys.com. “Being the first one to wear it at Texas, growing up a Longhorn and a Cowboy in the great state of Texas, I wear it as a badge of honor. It’s not too many people that get to say they’re the first to do anything, and to say I’m the first wear No. 0 at Texas and the first to do it in Dallas Cowboys’ history, that’s a badge of honor.”
He wore No. 35 as a rookie in 2023, but he only suited up in two preseason games before tearing his ACL and being ruled out for his entire rookie year. Overshown then morphed into No. 13 for 2024, a year in which he flashed what All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons called All-Pro potential. The second-year linebacker became the first Cowboys player with a pick six and a fumble recovery in the same game since 2002 in a Thanksgiving Day victory against the New York Giants this past season. After that performance, Parsons said, “That’s Agent Zero. He’s going back to zero!”
“He’s going. There’s no doubt about it. He’s going. I’ve been telling people how explosive he is,” Parsons said after Overshown racked up a game-high 11 tackles and a sack of Deshaun Watson in Dallas’ Week 1 victory at the Cleveland Browns. “He’s coming downhill with intent with everything. He’s one of the most exciting players that I’ve seen. I think he’s going to be an All-Pro player.”
However, Overshown once again suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2024, tearing his ACL, MCL and PCL on “Monday Night Football” against the Cincinnati Bengals. His availability for the 2025 season is up in the air, but there’s a chance he could return to action later in the year. Upon Overshown’s return, he’ll make Cowboys history as their first No. 0.

NFL Draft 2025: How Cowboys’ first-round pick Tyler Booker reminds Jerry Jones of Michael Irvin
Getty Images FRISCO, Texas -- Alabama Crimson Tide All-American offensive guard Tyler Booker, the 12th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, hasn't been a Cowboy for even a week. However, he already has both All-Pro edge Micah Parsons and Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones ready to run through a brick wall after each have heard him speak. Parsons interviewed Booker on Bleacher Report's NFL Draft live reaction show shortly after the latter was selected by Dallas. After he heard Booker talking about making his opponents lose their love of football while going against him, he got Parsons screaming, "God damn, you just got me hype! Let's go! Hey man, welcome to the team!"Jones had an equivalent reaction -- as much as an 82-year-old can have to Parsons' fiery reaction -- while sitting next to […]

Kyle Dubas explains ‘amicable’ Mike Sullivan-Penguins split
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Mike Sullivan made no demands. Sidney Crosby had no input.And Kyle Dubas has suspected for a while now that his Pittsburgh Penguins needed a new coach. The past week was about him finding confirmation before bringing a seismic shift to the organization he joined two years ago.Advertisement“There were times throughout the year that I thought it just may be time,” Dubas said of Sullivan on Monday.“It’s a lot to ask of somebody, when they’ve done such a long and successful job here, to be managing that and continue to transition the team, too. Off the top of my head, I don’t know that there’s an NHL coach that’s done that.”Sullivan won’t get the chance with the Penguins.Following a couple of meetings last week — Tuesday in Pittsburgh and Sunday in Boston — Dubas trusted his gut […]
Will Ashton Jeanty, 2025 draft RB class change the complexion of the NFL?
Henry McKenna NFL Reporter <!--> There was no shortage of excitement ahead of the NFL Draft about the running backs. Maybe you noticed the love for the star ball-carriers beyond the obvious ones: Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton. But … maybe you missed it, which would be understandable, given the way the NFL has — or had — treated the position in recent years. Over the past five years, the running-backs-don’t-matter sentiment showed up on draft day and in free agency. It was hard to take RB hype too seriously.But then the Eagles won the Super Bowl on the back of Saquon Barkley and the offensive line. It was a team effort, yes. But Saquon was the centerpiece. I get it: That defense is incredible. And quarterback Jalen Hurts is among my favorite players in the NFL. But Hurts played an […]

Bez těchto kapacit stadion nemůže nadále fungovat.Nebo může, ale vedení bundesligy bez patřičného počtu parkovacích míst neudělí klubu licenci.Naděje spočívá v řepkovém poli u města Monheim, asi 8,5 kilometru od BayAreny.
