William Andrews (born December 25, 1955 in Thomasville, Georgia) is a retired NFL football running back. He played collegiately at Auburn University along with future NFL backs James Brooks and Joe Cribbs.
Andrews played professionally with the Atlanta Falcons. After a promising beginning to his career (He was one of the first NFL players with two 2,000 yard rushing/receiving seasons to his credit), he sustained a serious knee injury during the 1984 preseason that sidelined him for two years. He returned in 1986 for one season, largely as a tight end, before retiring. To celebrate his career, his number (31) was retired and hasn't been used by any Atlanta player since.
