Chad Forces Based on a sketch that appeared on Peyton and Eli Manning's ESPN+ show, Powell plays a former college quarterback whose career is plagued by bad behavior on and off the field. He poses as Chad Powers, a poor, talented football player and affable Southern gentleman, and works his way onto the roster of a struggling football team.

“Definitely a Glen Powell type role,” @SammySwoosh agreed.
