But now, with the actual on-field work on the horizon, we’re learning about his defensive strategy for the team in 2024. Aside from his patented fiery, intense style and scheme, Zimmer is also focusing on the physical side. Specifically, two of the most important young defenders on the team have had his attention. Second-year players DeMarvion Overshown and Mazi Smith are bulking up.
Ever since this former Longhorns star went down with an ACL tear, his return has been hyped up by Cowboys fans. Now, that hype is as strong as it can be. During this week, it was reported that Overshown added close to 15 lbs of muscle during his recovery.
DeMarvion Overshown is itching to get back on the field as he’s added “12-13 pounds of lean mass” to his frame in anticipation of taking a lead role in the LB corps this season.
While the Dallas Cowboys’ preparation for the 2024 season is heating up, there’s still several members from last year’s roster who aren’t without a team currently. Practice squad center Billy Price was one of them, as the veteran remained unsigned heading into the last week of May.
However, it turns out Price is walking away from the game altogether — and the reason is incredibly scary.
Billy Price, a center who spent last season on the Cowboys’ practice squad, announced his retirement today from the NFL. Wishing him and his young family the best.
