DALLAS Cowboys star DeMarvion Overshown is making history for his team in 2025.
Overshown is returning from a major injury and will do something that has never been done before for the Cowboys.
The Cowboys announced on Wednesday that Overshown will wear the No. 0 during the 2025 campaign.
Notably, no Cowboys player has ever worn that number since it was permitted starting in 2023.
“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 the team’s website.
“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.”
In the 65-year history of the Cowboys, no player has ever worn the number.
Cornerback Jayron Kearse was actually set to take the No. 0 in 2023, but roster moves opened up the No. 1 for him.
That left No. 0 available this season for Overshown to wear.
Overshown was given the nickname “Agent 0” while playing in college at the University of Texas.
However, when he was drafted by the Cowboys in 2023, he wasn’t allowed to wear the number, even though it was legal.
Overshown revealed that Jerry Jones wouldn’t allow him to wear No. 0 because the team mascot, Rowdy, wore No. 00.
“I just thought it was meant to be,” Overshown told CBS News Texas of the No. 0.
“As soon as they made the rule that NFL players can wear zero, I was just like ‘The first Dallas Cowboy to wear zero, it’s just meant to be.’
“Sadly, it didn’t happen like that. That’s Rowdy’s number. I guess me and Rowdy gonna have to duke it out.”
Overshown was an exciting prospect for the Cowboys last season.

In 13 games he had an interception, forced fumble, five sacks, 90 tackles, and a defensive touchdown.
However, he was injured once again and tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL.
He underwent surgery in December of last year and is anticipated to return at some point this season.
November has been floated as a realistic timeline for his comeback.
