After wearing No. 95 for the Atlanta Falcons for 12 seasons, former Falcons’ defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux had some thoughts about former Dallas Cowboys’ defensive end Jack Crawford wearing his old number.

Crawford recorded 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks in two seasons with the Oakland Raiders and two with the Cowboys.

Babineaux— currently an unrestricted free agent— commented on the photo of Crawford in a No. 95 jersey from the Falcons' Instagram page with a "thinking face" emoji.
