William Lee Overmyer (born June 16, 1949) is an American former professional football linebacker.
[1] In the preseason he competed with three others – fellow rookie Will Foster and veterans Ike Kelley and Bill Cody – to replace Tim Rossovich, who was holding out and was eventually traded, to be the Eagles' middle linebacker after Steve Zabel was injured in training camp.
One thing, the coaches keep talking to me so I know I have a chance...I understand that they are teaching me on defense but experience is the major difference; however, the other rookies who have played linebacker are having trouble adjusting too.
"[5] Overmyer was waived late in the preseason but was later signed to join the Eagles' taxi squad.
[12] In 1974 he signed with the Houston Texans of the World Football League but was not on their regular season roster.
