Danny Davis was like: "#20 really"
You not making the squad as a WR when they issue you #20.😌
Cool that he gets to be a Green Bay Packer for a bit though. Good story to be able to tell for the rest of his life.
Good luck Danny!

The week before the preseason games began the Packers and Chiefs had a scrimmage. In the later part of the scrimmage he was on the field and scored a touchdown. He tossed the ball to the ref and went to the sidelines. When some of the other guys asked him why he didn't spike the ball, he said he was so excited that he forgot he could. (College vs pro rules.) He was cut on Monday after the scrimmage weekend.
He talked about his experience 25 years later the team got together when it was inducted in the the Lawrence University Sports Hall of Fame.
