Frank Gore has proven irreplaceable on the 49ers — and his passion for football is hard to match in the NFL after his 16-year career.
Frank Gore’s career is not defined by his place as the third-leading rusher in NFL history.If that is how the 49 voters for the Pro Football Hall of Fame dare to size up Gore, they’re miscalculating his greatness.It carried him through 16 seasons. That’s five times the typical NFL lifespan. That’s an eternity for a head-down, leg-churning, tough-dude running back, who confirmed this week he’s retired from that line of work.
Such passion and professionalism carried Gore through 241 games. Of the 12 running backs the 49ers have drafted to succeed him, four never even appeared in one game. Gore is the 49ers’ all-time leading rusher. He won’t become an all-time boxing star , but he could become an asset to the 49ers in the scouting department. Since he left the 49ers in 2014 free agency, it’s been a fait accompli that he’ll enjoy a ceremonial one-day farewell as a 49er. He says that’s in the works, for some point this year.
Gore’s gaudy statistics – 16,000 rushing yards that are third-most in NFL history; nine 1,000-yard seasons; 4.3 yards per carry – are a testament to longevity, but also the consistency that’s so rare for a modern-day running back.
