From the Dallas Morning News:
OXNARD, Calif. — Mike McCarthy casually tossed out the names of a few players who have gotten off to strong starts in this camp while chatting with reporters after his press conference.
Some of those names will come as no surprise to fans.
Others probably will.
Let’s start with defense. The Cowboys’ head coach said veteran corner Jourdan Lewis “is having a hell of a camp’' and quickly followed by mentioning corner DaRon Bland. McCarthy loves the way the entire safety group is playing.
But the first player he mentioned on that side of the ball is linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who is coming off a torn ACL that ended his rookie season before it began.
“Overshown jumps off the tape at you,’’ McCarthy said. “No question there.’’
It’s not a question for Micah Parsons either.
“Overshown has been unbelievable,’’ Parsons said. “I think he’s more confident and stronger than he was before he tore his ACL. He’s coming downhill, he’s being aggressive, he understand his reads.
“You can just see the confidence in him growing. He’s getting more reps with the ones. They’re ready to get him out there. “I think he’s going to have an unbelievable year.’’
