The 41-year-old went undercover for his show, Eli’s Places’ latest episode. The two-time Super Bowl MVP wished to get a full walk-on experience. James Franklin, the head coach, was in on the skit. However, the coaches of the Nittany Lions did not know his identity, and he wowed them all when he scooped up the pigskin and moved it about the practice area with ease.

Eli introduced himself as his new alias, ‘Chad Powers.’ And interestingly, Powers resembled the former New Orleans Saints QB and father of Eli and Peyton Manning, Archie Manning. To perfect his look, Eli’s fake prosthetic nose helped him appear older and more like her legendary father. One can surely see the resemblance in their noses and hair.

Eli Manning is out there showing how it’s done!

Eli Manning was back on the field with the ball and showing off his throwing skills. When he entered the setting, everybody peered at him and murmured questions to each other. Many students said, “He’s like 32…Bro, he is not a freshman.” 

The 41-year-old clocked a 5.49 in the 40-yard sprint before scattering the football. This, around him, made everybody pay close attention. Word got around. People gathered to watch the peculiar man show his talents. During the skit, he remarked, “Not just well looking, I can throw it, baby!” He then revealed his identity to everyone. Surely, the students breathed a sigh of relief because they did not have to face the future Hall of Famer.

At the end of the try-out, James Franklin gave the news that Chad Powers sadly did not make the cut because his number were not as impressive. More importantly, he was ineligible because he was Eli Manning.
