Cowboys news: DeMarvion Overshown's perseverance fueled his return

"Overshown tore three ligaments in his knee on Dec. 9. One person with the Cowboys described it as a potential career-ending injury. Instead, it proved to be just another setback in his story. Initially, projections for Overshown to return to the field on Thanksgiving against the Kansas City Chiefs were looked at as optimistic. Overshown beat that mark by two games."

"His fiancée, Alexis Babino, had one request when Overshown left for Tyler: be sure to sit and rest. If he had to do this, if he had to be there, then he could still be cautious on his leg. She remembers Overshown saying he would oblige her request. "But that did not happen," Babino said. One video of Overshown standing next to a kid, crying in amazement at meeting Overshown, went viral."
