Perry Mattfeld stars alongside Glen Powell on the new Hulu football comedy series Chad Powers and she has opened up her husband Mark Sanchez‘s thoughts on the show.
Here’s an official synopsis of the show: “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.”
Perry stars as Ricky Hudson, the assistant coach of the South Georgia Catfish.
Mark is a former NFL quarterback who is now an analyst. He’s also currently in critical condition after a stabbing incident in Indianapolis.
In an interview with THR that was published just days ago, Perry revealed what Mark thinks of her new NFL series.

“He loves it,” Perry said. “I remember when we got to watch all the episodes, one of the first things [that happened was] all the creators went to him after and they were like, ‘How’s the football look? Is the football good? Does it look real? Does it look real?’ And he was like, ‘You guys did an awesome job. It looks great.’”
She added, “We used a company called Game Changing Films, which basically has all of these athletes who are either retired players or they’re free agents, or they’re just out of college, or they’re still playing. And they were so professional and so thorough with their plays. The guys were such great sports about the long days and all the takes and all the coverage we had to get to do the football. But they really performed well, and I think they did a really great job with all the football stuff.”
Perry also talked about Mark‘s relationship with the show’s executive producers, Eli and Peyton Manning.
“He luckily has a great relationship with both Eli and Peyton. And I know that Eli and Peyton spent quite a bit of time with Glen getting him prepped, but Mark was definitely able to consult with me quite a bit on some of my lines,” Perry said. “I have to give him some credit; some of his lines made it in terms of my improv or things that he had given me. (Laughs.) But he did spend some time in the writers room giving some insight not only about his NFL career, but college as well. Even things like what it’s like back in the hotel room when you’re on the road? Who’d you room with? Where do you sit on the bus? All that kind of stuff. They really did their homework and I think the authenticity of college football culture will shine through for sure.”
