Frank Gore

He finished his playing career with 3,735 carries for exactly 16,000 yards, third-most in NFL history behind only Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton. Gore ran for ...

He ended up making the Pro Bowl five times in 16 seasons, and was named an All-Pro once. Gore has a shot to cap his career with a Hall of Fame induction, due primarily to his longevity. Gore was a third-round pick (No. 65 overall) out of the University of Miami back in 2005.

Former 49ers, Colts, Bills, Dolphins, and Jets running back Frank Gore will soon announce his retirement.

Per Spotrac, Gore earned over $63MM in his playing career, and he indicated on the podcast that he hopes to move into a front office role. In 15 NFL seasons, he suited up for just four playoff outfits (the 49ers from 2011-13 and the Bills in 2019). He did get to participate in Super Bowl XLVII with San Francisco at the end of the 2012 season, but the Niners came out on the losing end of that contest. The 2018 season in Miami was a bit of a throwback, as he played in 14 games (all starts) and rushed for 722 yards on 156 totes, good for a 4.6 YPC average. He said, “I told [49ers CEO] Jed York that I always wanted to be a Niner, so we’re working on [the one-day contract] right now, and then we’re going to also sit down with me and my agent to talk about me working in the front office. He was still productive during his three years in Indianapolis, as he did not miss a game and averaged nearly 1,000 rushing yards per season to go along with 263 rushing yards per year, but he did not post a YPC rate above 3.9. During that time, the Miami product established himself as one of the best, and most consistent, backs in the league.

"They know that I know football players, what it's supposed to take to be a football player." Gore has not played in the NFL since the 2020 season, when he tallied 742 total yards and two scores on 203 touches for the New York Jets, his fifth NFL team. "I told (owner) Jed York I always want to be a Niner. So we working on that right now."

Former Indianapolis Colts RB Frank Gore will retire as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.

Should Gore get voted in, he would go into the Hall of Fame as a member of every team he played for. Gore’s best season with the Colts came during the 2016 season when he took 263 carries for 1,025 rushing yards and four touchdowns. In that span, Gore started all 48 games while taking 748 carries for 2,953 yards and 13 touchdowns.

He's still working out the details, but Frank Gore will be heading back to San Francisco to officially end his career.

He searched for teams leading into the 2021 season, but when no deal came, he turned his attention to boxing. He totaled 11,073 yards in a Niners jersey. Gore, 38, is the third-leading rusher in NFL history, as he amassed exactly 16,000 yards and 100 touchdowns over a 16-year career.

Gore rushed for exactly 16,000 rushing yards on 3,735 attempts (4.3 yards per attempt) with 100 Touchdowns (81 Rushing, 18 receiving, 1 fumble recovery) in his career. I love looking at talent, and I love evaluating talent, and I love ball. Expectations are swirling that Gore will join the front office of the 49ers sometime after retiring.

Frank Gore played 16 seasons in the NFL, 10 of them in San Francisco. He said he plans to sign a one-day contract and retire from the sport.

"I told (team owner) Jed York, I always wanted to be with the Niners. We working on that right now." "I love looking at talent," Gore said. That ranks him third on the all-time rushing list behind Emmitt Smith (18,355) and Walter Payton (16,726).

Frank Gore wants to work for the 49ers front office, and CEO Jed York is willing to bring him in.

While Gore is angling for a front office role, former left tackle Joe Staley said last year that head coach Kyle Shanahan is trying to get him on the coaching staff. After telling the SF Niners Podcast that he intends to retire after signing a one-day contract with the 49ers, he mentioned that he’d like to return to the club to work in the front office. York believes Gore has what it takes to make the transition from player to front office member.
