Eli Manning‘s portrayal of “Chad Powers” — a dude trying out for the Penn State football team — was so damn funny, the production company behind the 2x Super Bowl winners skit has been fielding offers from entertainment execs wanting to work with the signal-caller.
TMZ Sports posted the clip from “Eli’s Places” on Monday … showing Powers doing everything from running the 40-yard dash (5.49 seconds) to throwing deep balls, all while providing hilarious commentary (“Chad Powers. Ya ain’t seen nothin’ like him. Not just good looking. I can throw it, baby!”).
