Cowboys' Micah Parsons, Texans' C.J. Stroud Partner for Camps Tour in Asia

Prior to the start of OTAs, a pair of young stars - the Dallas Cowboys' Micah Parsons and Houston Texans' C.J. Stroud - will head overseas to help grow the game.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud are two of the brightest stars in Texas.

As such, they're rivals - but this offseason, they're business partners.

Parsons and Stroud have joined together to put on youth and high school camps on the 2024 Asia Tour sponsored by Gridiron Imports, a non-profit organization that prides itself on sending international football players to the United States at both the high school and college level.

The duo will head to Beijing, China, on April 30-May 2 before stopping in Shanghai, China, from May 2-3. Then, they'll venture to Japan, spending May 3-9 in Tokyo.

Stroud and Parsons haven't played against each other in the NFL, but they faced off in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game on Feb. 16. Parsons was the game's MVP, notching 37 points and 16 rebounds, while Stroud scored 32 points.

In the days preceding their on-court matchup, Stroud joined Parsons' podcast, 'The Edge,' and conversed for over 54 minutes, making it the longest podcast Parsons filmed this season.

While their off-field chemistry has started to grow, their on-field work has vaulted them into the position to help the next generation.

The 24-year-old Parsons recorded 14 sacks, 18 tackles for loss and 33 quarterback hits this past season. He's logged 13 and 13.5 sacks in the previous two years, respectively, giving him 40.5 over the past three seasons, fourth-most in the NFL.

Stroud, 22, completed 63.9 percent of his passes for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns and five interceptions while adding another 167 yards and three scores on the ground. He was named AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Parsons and Stroud are two of the NFL's most marketable players - they're young and highly skilled, placing themselves amongst the league's best while still on their rookie contract.
