C.J. Stroud became perhaps the most popular athlete in Houston over the last year as he led the Texans from the AFC South cellar to a surprise playoff appearance. And the quarterback's popularity appears to extend far beyond the Bayou City.
Stroud and Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons spent recent days on an offseason tour around Asia, taking part in some athletic feats outside the gridiron. The pair of rising NFL stars threw out a first pitch at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday, and during their stay in Tokyo, Stroud and Parsons received some lessons from professional sumo wrestlers.
