The SF 49ers could use both running back depth and veteran leadership on offense, and the ageless Frank Gore would make a great story.
No, this isn’t just a sentimental SF 49ers idea… the one involving veteran running back Frank Gore, whose 16,000 rush yards place him third on the all-time rushing list after he wrapped up his 16th season with the NY Jets.
OK, well maybe it sort of is. It truly would be storybook-like for Gore, also the franchise’s leading all-time rusher, to come back to the team that took a chance on him way back in the 2005 NFL Draft.
