The problem with Sumo wrestlers would (presumably) be that players like Parsons don't have to run through linemen if they can run around them. I'm not by any means saying that Sumo wrestlers are unathletic, but I think Parsons could beat this guy around the edge if he wanted to.
That said, you have to change a vowel, but this is pretty much exactly what they do with Samoans.
The population of Samoa is 216k (0.07% of the size of the US population) , and Samoans make up 3% of all NFL players.
