Frank Gore Can Do Something Sunday No Player Has Done Since 1984
Intro: With 36 rushing yards on Sunday, Frank Gore would become the NFL’s first player age 33 years old or older to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.
INDIANAPOLIS – Frank Gore wasn’t even two years old the last time an NFL player did what he’s on the verge of accomplishing this weekend.
The year was 1984.
Gore was a year and a half old.
In ’84, with Gore barely walking, future Hall of Fame running back John Riggins was running for 1,000 yards at the age of 34.
Since 1984, not a single NFL running back at least 33 years of age has climbed to the top of the 1,000-yard mountain.
Gore is on the verge of ending that drought.
