Willing Mentor

Throughout his professional career, Gore has never been one to shy away from sharing his experience with the younger players on his team.

When working out at the University of Miami, Gore usually partnered up with Lamar Miller when he entered the league with the Texans. Gore also pushed fellow Miami alum and Colts teammate Phillip Dorsett and other young players when he was with Indianapolis.

“It’s how he’s lasted this long,” Dorsett said. “He always tests me. We compete at everything. He calls out the young guys [in practice].”

Gore will once again have the chance to mentor younger players with the Jets — especially rookie running back La’Mical Perine.
