LOOK: DeMarvion Overshown tweets proof dreams come true

The Dallas Cowboys are a popular sports team. There’s a reason Jerry Jones has been able to turn an investment of under $200 million that was losing millions a month into a valuation of just under $10 billion. The brand is strong because of historic relevance and savvy marketing.

America’s Team has fans everywhere around the world, really, but the heart of the fanbase resides in their home state of Texas. And as a Texas kid, linebacker DeMarvion Overshown was not immune to rooting for the organization. Growing up in Arp, Overshown came up with dreams of playing for the Cowboys one day.

And he has proof, too.

Overshown tweeted out a copy of a school paper of some level from his elementary school days. In the third grade he spoke on what his favorite sport was.

“Football, because my dad played this sport. I am going to play in the NFL one day for the Dallas Cowboys.”

Dreams do come true.
