Kansas City connection continues as Commanders sign former Chiefs free agent RB Derrick Gore

At 5’9”, 206 pounds, Derrick Gore is one size up from Commanders running back Jaret Patterson, who is listed at 5’8”, 195 pounds, and he is 1 inch shorter and 16 pounds lighter than Alfred Morris was when he played in the burgundy & gold.

The 28-year-old back entered the NFL in 2019 as an undrafted free agent, signing with the Chargers and then the Redskins, spending time on both practice squads. He returned to the Chargers PS in the 2020 COVID season for two stints, but in 2021, he had a bit of a career breakthrough, signing with Kansas Citys, where he was active for 11 games.
