Should NFL teams bring in Sumo as OL?
Looks at these sumo wrestlers stonewall Parsons on a slick sand ring. Coach up a few years and you could have great IOL at least I think.

I actually have a weird fascination with sumo, and watch it quite a bit. They often look like overweight slobs, but these guys have scary deceptive strength, and they are extremely skilled at using lower body strength and leverage.

I respect sumo wrestlers but the second that dude had to protect a QB against an NFL pass rusher, he’s lost

The entirety of sumo wrestling takes place inside a circle that's smaller than any turf that any offensive lineman has to protect.
No sumo could be a tackle -- it's simply too much ground to cover. There's an outside chance they could run block along the interior, but even then you're running purely a power game with no pulling. The sumo skillset is valuable, Creed Humphrey was a wrestler, it is actually useful. But that's not all there is to OL play. |
