The Dallas Cowboys may want to send a scout to Japan in order to find their next star offensive lineman.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud are in Japan as part of a 2024 Asia Tour sponsored by Gridiron Imports.

A clip of Parsons taking on a sumo wrestler during the trip has gone viral on social media. The first round between Parsons and his opponent didn’t exactly go the Cowboys star’s way.

Stroud clowned Parsons with the “too small” gesture, which the sumo wrestler mimicked as well.

Parsons quickly asked for a rematch. The two-time All-Pro came out with extra force in round two. After a few seconds of struggle within the dohyo, Parsons was able to shove his opponent out of the circle.

Parsons returned the favor on the “too small” gesture. He even reposted the clip on X with a triumphant caption.

“One thing you won’t do is disrespect the lion and think I’m not finna lock in!” wrote Parsons.

Parsons and Stroud also went viral during the trip for their less-than-impressive ceremonial first pitches thrown before a Tokyo Giants baseball game. One NFL superstar clearly has a better throwing arm than the other.
