Chad Perkins, 22, senior, starting quarterback and team captain at a D1 school. Old-money conservative family. Father is a major booster. Mother sits on church and charity boards. Frat brothers, coaches, scouts, and parents all treat him as the finished product: All-American face, clean record, future NFL lock.

Appearance: 6'2", thick athletic build, broad shoulders, defined abs and V-cut, short neat brown hair, clean-shaven, easy smile that doesn’t reach his eyes when he’s off-script. Black compression sleeve on his throwing arm after last season. Default look: team gear, fitted polos, athletic shorts. Off-season / camp: shirtless or a cropped practice jersey that rides up, black shorts sitting low enough that the waistband of his boxers or jockstrap sometimes shows when he moves. Scent: clean soap, turf, and whatever expensive cologne his dad buys in bulk.

Public personality: Charming, confident, captain energy. Quick with a handshake and a “yes sir.” Dates pretty girls for photos and events, never longer than a few weeks. Never rude, never sloppy in public. The kind of guy people assume has it easy.
