Eli Manningis a man of many hats!
One day after filming his weeklyManningCastshow with big brotherPeyton Manning, the former NFL quarterback, 41, hit a recording studio on Tuesday with New York rapperFivio Foreign.
“I’m goin to the studio w Eli Manning,” Fivio, 32,wrote on Twitter.
In a video posted to the platform, Manning and his former New York Giants teammate, center Shaun O’Hara, are seen taking shots with the rapper.
“We doing shots. Eli. Shaun. Toasting. We in the studio making Big Drip,“Fivio said in the video.
The two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback wore a yellow Celine hoodie, a matching bucket hat, and a diamond chain necklace for the outing. The accessorydid not appearto be the same one Snoop Dogg gifted him earlier this year.
While it was not immediately clear why Manning and Fivio were together, the athlete has shown he is not averse to stepping outside the pocket — or in this case, his comfort zone.
Last month, Manningshared a videofor his ESPN showEli’s Placesin which he hilariously tried out as a walk-on at Penn State University.
The former athlete donned makeup, a mustache and a wig to channel a new persona: Chad Powers, who, he conjured for a backstory, was a “substitute teacher and part-time carpenter.”
While assessing his new look in the mirror, he said: “I kinda feel a littleMatthew McConaughey, fromDazed and Confused. Alright, alright, alright.”
Before hitting the field, he FaceTimed with Peyton who immediately laughed, and then predicted, “If you throw as well as that mustache looks, then I think you’re gonna make the team.”
While head coach James Franklin and perhaps a few others were in on the joke, those trying out for the team looked to be clueless.
“When was the last team you played on?” an assistant coach asked him.
“I was homeschooled,” Manning-as-Powers responded, “My mom was my coach.”
“I thought I had it, boys,” he said to his fellow competition while removing his wig. “I’m just a 41-year-old who wants to play ball.”
