What Happens in Episode 4
The official plot summary for Episode 4 sets up a high-stakes scenario for the characters Russ “Chad Powers” Holliday and his teammate, Danny Cruz.
The night before an away game in Knoxville, Russ and Danny must sneak out of the team hotel and go on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines.
This suggests the two characters will find themselves in a tricky situation far from their home field, adding a new layer of comedy and tension to the football story.
The Story Behind Chad Powers
For those new to the show, Chad Powers features Glen Powell as Russ Holliday, a talented college quarterback whose career is destroyed by a single, very public mistake. Desperate to play again, he creates an entirely new identity—Chad Powers—using a prosthetic nose and a wig. He then walks on to a struggling small-college team, the South Georgia Catfish, hiding his true past from everyone.
The show is inspired by a viral skit from former NFL quarterback Eli Manning’s ESPN series, where he disguised himself as a walk-on player named Chad Powers. Eli Manning, along with his brother Peyton Manning, serves as an executive producer on the series.
The show’s cast also includes Steve Zahn as Coach Jake Hudson, Perry Mattfeld as assistant coach Ricky Hudson, and Frankie A. Rodriguez as Danny, Chad’s new friend and teammate.

- Episode 5: “5th Quarter” – October 21, 2025
