It wasn’t too long ago when Frank Gore was bouncing off tackles and running through defenses for the 49ers as a running back.
The 40-year-old was a five-time Pro Bowl selection and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s All-Decade Team of the 2010s. Gore played 16 years in the NFL and calling him a fan favorite undermines what he meant to the Niners.
When you’re around the game for that long, that’s all you know. So, naturally, it always made sense for Gore to find a way to remain a part of football, somehow, some way.
