UPDATE: ESPN has taken to Instagram to share official photos of Powell as Powers, which you can see below:
Original Story: A new batch of Chad Powers set photos has made its way online, showing off Glen Powell’s incredible transformation into a disgraced college quarterback for the upcoming Hulu series.
The new set photos come as Powell continues to film the upcoming project and sees Powell completely transformed with a prosthetic nose, long hair, and what looks to be a set of fake teeth as well. The photos also show him dressed for a workout, complete with an arm sleeve.

What do we know about Chad Powers?
Chad Powers will be based on ESPN’s series of sketches starring former NFL quarterback Eli Manning. In them, Manning would dress himself up as Powers and would often prank other players or random people by showing up and being better than he looked.
“When bad behavior nukes hotshot QB Russ Holliday’s college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers,” reads the logline.
Chad Powers is co-created by Powell and Michael Waldron (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), who also co-wrote the pilot. In addition to starring, Powell is also executive producing via his Barnstorm Productions banner, along with Jamie Horowitz, Ben Brown, and ESPN. It is a production by 20th Television, with Waldron and Adam Fasullo serving as producers.
