Frank Gore’s NFL career is coming to an end after 16 seasons.
The running back told the SF Niners Podcast that he plans to sign a one-day contract with San Francisco before retiring. The 49ers drafted Gore in 2005, thus being a 10-year run in the Bay Area.
Gore, a five-time Pro Bowler with San Francisco, went on to play for the Colts, Dolphins, Bills and, most recently, Jets. Gore last played in 2020, totaling 653 rushing yards and two touchdowns for New York.
Gore became just the third running back in NFL history to record 16,000 rushing yards while with the Jets. He ends his career with exactly 16,000 yards, trailing only Walter Payton (16,726) and Emmitt Smith (18,355) on the all-time rushing list.
Despite his other stops, Gore will best be remembered for his accomplishments with the 49ers. Now that he is hanging up his pads, his next stop should be the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.
