I was a high school wrestler and in college became friends with a previous football rival. He was 6’3 210 lb All-State tight end. I was a 5’8 160 lb All-State off the ball outside linebacker. One day in college he started shoving me around and trying to grapple, saying “come on wrestler, I can take you”. He was on his back so quickly and, for me, so effortlessly he was dumbfounded. I would NEVER have been able to do that to a 210 ex-wrestler/football player. He just didn’t have the leverage and body control despite having 50 lbs on me. Great pass catching tight end though!

Sumo is really hand heavy, which is theoretically good for something like O line, but sumo is also a system very akin to sport fencing in that the footwork is predominantly engage-disengage oriented and that really doesn't lend itself to things like block commitment. Those are hard habits to break and weird muscle groups to re-train... there's a lot of injury potential in trying to unlearn and redevelop muscle memory below the knees. Just learning to run in cleats is a big deal once you're over about 20. And we're talking about those ticky-tacky lingering sprains and partial tears that football is already known to be bad for and prone to. It's a whole new set of concepts that are sorta philosophically at odds with sumo doctrine. Also, I'm pretty sure that Sumo wrestlers make a lot of money. They are salaried club employees. A middling guy gets like 3 grand a month and an apartment, and that's in addition to prize money, purses, and tournament appearance payments. Thus, the average sumo can expect to net an extra 100 grand or so a year. I think there's a good reason we don't see a bunch of football linemen trying to enter sumo tournaments to chase quick money, and I think it's probably a skillset and doctrine thing.

He is the only person to ever win six NCAA titles in wrestling, three times in Division II and three times in Division I. His three-peat of Division II and Division I NCAA National Championships were won in 1987, 1988, and 1989. All six championships were won for Pitt-Johnstown.[1] Haselrig then moved on to professional football, where he played five seasons in the NFL, becoming a Pro Bowl offensive guard in 1992.
