David Overstreet II was hired as Chicago's assistant defensive backs coach on February 2, 2022.
Like Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi, Overstreet spent the past four seasons as an assistant on an Indianapolis defense that was coordinated by Bears head coach Matt Eberflus.
After serving as a defensive quality control coach from 2018-20, Overstreet was promoted to assistant defensive backs coach in 2021.
In all four seasons that Eberflus, Williams, Borgonzi and Overstreet worked together in Indianapolis, the Colts ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in run defense and takeaways. In addition, Indianapolis finished in the top 10 in points allowed three times and was the least penalized defense in the league in 2019 and 2021.
Before joining the Colts, Overstreet spent two seasons (2016-17) as cornerbacks coach and defensive pass game coordinator at Garden City Community College in Kansas. In 2016, the team won the NJCAA Football Championship with an 11-0 record, fueled by a defense that allowed the fewest points in the nation, an average of just 9.1 per game.
Overstreet began his coaching career in 2015 at Holmes Community College in Mississippi, working with cornerbacks.
As a player, Overstreet was a four-year starting safety from 2002-06 at Missouri, where his defensive coordinator for his entire career was Eberflus.
Overstreet appeared in 48 games with 29 starts and compiled 282 tackles, two interceptions, 19 pass breakups, five forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and 5.5 tackles-for-loss. He was named first-team All-Big 12 as a junior in 2005 after leading the Tigers with 100 tackles.
