Our Guest 2 the host of the “Truly the GOATs” podcast, Os Davis came into the Pigpen to help Darin search for the GOATs that wore the number 2 on their shirts. We had a great discussion and narrowed down to a top five best to wear that jersey in NFL history.
- Doug Flutie
- Paddy Driscoll
- Walt Kiesling

I do have to say Matt Ryan and Flutie were tough to decide between for that fifth and final spot but for the full body of work, Os talked me into Flutie.
