Before doing so, he made sure he looked unrecognizable. The alias he chose for himself is hilarious.

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.
