Looking like a forty year old playing college football. Is that part of the joke? (I didn’t watch the first one.)
Literally the entire premise…
The series is based on the ESPN and Omaha Productions segment “Eli’s Places,” where Eli Manning disguised himself in prosthetics to participate in a walk-on tryout at Penn State.
In Season 1 of Chad Powers, co-created by Powell and Loki scribe Michael Waldron, Powell’s disgraced former Oregon star quarterback Russ Holliday tries to redeem himself eight years after he nuked his football career by disguising himself as Chad Powers, a talented oddball who walks on to the struggling South Georgia Catfish.
Would have been faster to read the article tho…
That’s basically the whole premise of the show.
Its based off the bit Eli Manning did at Penn State where he put on a disguise and did walk on tryouts .
