Yet, for some reason, folks are really still debating this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also erupted a few years ago when Gore first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/leaders\/rush_yds_career.htm\">passed Adrian Peterson and then Barry Sanders<\/a> for fourth and third in all-time rushing yards, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gore last played for the Jets in the 2020 season, rushing for 653 yards and 2 TDs. That&#8217;s when he passed Sanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/G\/GoreFr00.htm\">The 38-year-old running back now has 16,000 rushing yards<\/a>, leaving him 727 yards shy of passing Walter Payton for second all-time. For that to happen, he would need to play for at least two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But earlier this week, Gore announced he was hanging up his cleats and would sign a one-day contract with the San Francisco 49ers to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Breaking: Former 49ers RB Frank Gore announces he will retire in the next few months\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LNL9hJw5jlM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We still trying to figure out when I&#8217;m going through my one-day contract, to sign, do my retirement,&#8221; said Gore. &#8220;I told (owner) Jed York I always want to be a Niner. So we working on that right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gore also mentioned that he would love to move into the front office because he &#8220;loves looking at talent.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what a talent he was.<\/p><div id=\"first-2670463878\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the University of Miami in 2001, Gore, a true freshman, backed up Clinton Portis and helped them win the national championship that season. He also looked like the best back on the team, averaging over 9 yards per carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But prior to his sophomore year, he tore his ACL and missed the entire season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gore still had a good four-year career with the Hurricanes, which is one of the reasons why the 49ers drafted him in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He spent 10 years in San Francisco, becoming their all-time leading rusher with 11,073 yards. He was also part of their Super Bowl XLVII team in 2013, where he rushed for 110 yards and a TD.<\/p><div id=\"first-1785408399\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In their questioning of his Hall of Fame credentials, some suggest he doesn&#8217;t have a career-defining moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from the fact that he&#8217;s the NFL&#8217;s third all-time leading rusher, they conveniently forget that in that Super Bowl against the Ravens, Gore had a 33-yard run that set San Francisco up at Baltimore&#8217;s seven-yard line with under three minutes remaining in the game. They should have won the game there but four bad play calls ended their chances and the Ravens won, 34-31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January of 2017, Gore became the oldest running back since John Riggins to rush for at least 1,000 yards in a season and the first Colts running back to rush for at least 1,000 yards in a season since 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need more to validate his Hall of Fame jacket?<\/p><div id=\"first-148924238\" class=\"first-content_3 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream4 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700414036595-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700414036595-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frank Gore has passed all-time greats like Jim Brown, Thurman Thomas, Franco Harris, Marcus Allen, Edgerrin James, Marshall Faulk, Tony Dorsett and the previously mentioned Peterson and Sanders to get to where he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Gore, not all of them have Super Bowls, but they&#8217;re all in the Hall of Fame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over his sixteen-year career, Gore has topped 1,000 rushing yards nine times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s also been fairly durable during his career, rarely missing a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I got to 28, I heard I was on my last leg,\u201d Gore said in 2017. \u201cThat just motivated me to keep going. I never let a man judge me. I believe in the man up above. As long as he has my body feeling great, I train hard in the offseason and I still love the game, I\u2019m going to come back and play as hard as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a man to pass current Hall of Famers and still be questioned whether he&#8217;s worthy to be in Canton is silly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frank Gore is a Hall of Famer, so please stop the foolishness. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frank Gore is a Hall of Famer.
