Vote: Are you OK with Justin Simmons wearing No. 31?

Newly signed safety Justin Simmons will wear No. 31 with the Falcons. He will be the first player since William Andrews in 1986 to wear the uniform number in a regular-season game.

Williams, the running back, was inducted into the Falcons’ Ring of Honor in 2004. His number has not been retired by the team, making it available.

So, what do you think? Are you OK with it?
