Gridiron football skills don’t translate so smoothly into the ancient Japanese art of sumo wrestling.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons faced off with a sumo wrestler during an international trip to Tokyo this week.

The defensive standout’s speed and agility didn’t prove enough to overcome the strength of the wrestler, who dispatched him with considerable ease in their first bout.

The wrestler — who hasn’t been publicly identified — even mocked Parson’s size, pretending to cradle a baby and referencing Parsons’ height of 6’3 in another gesture.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was also present at the exhibition, and was amused at seeing one of the NFL’s most powerful defensive players manhandled by a practitioner of the sumo art.

In a twist, though, Parsons proved capable of driving the large wrestler out of the ring in their second go-round.

Parsons went on to suggest that the exchange wouldn’t be the last time he faced off against a sumo wrestler.

One fan even suggested that the exchange could spur curiosity in sumo wrestling from NFL teams — especially those looking for potential offensive linemen.

The NFL should take notes and bring these sumo wrestlers in as OL.

Micah and these other Defensive Ends would get cooked.

It’s not clear if Stroud was courageous (or foolhardy) enough to face off against the wrestlers.

Stroud and Parsons took a photograph with a group of wrestlers at the venue.

The two NFL players also threw first pitches at a Tokyo Giants baseball game.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that the quarterback’s throw ended up closer to the strike zone than the hard-hitting linebacker’s.
