Disguised Eli Manning Tries out for Penn State Football (Video)

Eli Manning has had some fun in retired life, from doing the Monday Night Football “Manning Cast” with brother Peyton to broadcasting “Eli’s Places” on ESPN+. On one of the latest episodes of “Eli’s Places, the former Giants quarterback went undercover at a Penn State football walk-on tryout.

Dressed with a blonde wig and fake nose, Manning disguised himself and played the role of Chad Powers, a freshman who was homeschooled in high school. As a result of being homeschooled, Powers claimed he’d only played pickup football in the past and that his mother was both his coach and teacher.
