Glen Powell Transforms into Chad Powers: What’s the Buzz About?

Glen Powell, best known for his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You, takes a hilarious detour into sports comedy with Chad Powers. But this isn't just another sitcom. Inspired by an unforgettable sketch on Eli Manning's ESPN+ show Eli’s Places, the story centers around a down-on-his-luck quarterback who reinvents himself as a mysterious walk-on player named—yep, you guessed it—Chad Powers.

Powell plays Russ Holliday, a once-promising college quarterback whose career nosedives after bad decisions. Determined to make a comeback, he dons a wig and fake mustache to walk on to a struggling Southern football team under a new identity. What follows is a wild, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt journey of second chances and self-discovery.
