Franklin Gore Sr. (born May 14, 1983) is an American former professional football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 seasons. A member of the San Francisco 49ers during most of his career, he ranks third in NFL career rushing yards. His career was noted for its longevity, rare for his position, and he holds the league record for games played by a running back.[1]

Gore played college football for the Miami Hurricanes and was selected by the 49ers in the third round of the 2005 NFL draft. During his 10 seasons with the 49ers, he became the franchise's rushing yards leader and received five Pro Bowl selections. He also led the National Football Conference (NFC) in rushing yards during the 2006 season and made an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII in 2012. After leaving San Francisco at the end of the 2014 season, Gore played for the Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and New York Jets. He is a member of the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team.[2]

Early life

Gore was born on May 14, 1983, in Miami, Florida, and grew up in Coconut Grove. He attended Coral Gables Senior High School in Coral Gables, Florida, where he played running back on the football team.[3] He had two notable record-breaking games. Against Miami Northwestern High School, he had a then-career high 293 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries. In the next game, he broke that record with 319 yards and six touchdowns on 13 carries against the third-ranked defense in the nation. During his senior year in 2000, Gore broke several Dade County single-season records, including rushing yards (2,997) and touchdowns (39).[4][5] Heavily recruited, he was named the fourth-ranked prospect in the state of Florida and 18th nationally.[6]

While emerging as a talented football prospect, Gore also focused his attention on improving his academics and assisting his mother, who was battling kidney disease and had started dialysis treatments.[7] To remain close to home, Gore chose to attend the University of Miami.[8][9]

College career

Gore had a scholarship to attend the University of Miami under head coach Larry Coker.[10][11]

In his freshman year, Gore shared the backfield with Clinton Portis and Willis McGahee, with Portis receiving a majority of the carries.[12] Gore made his collegiate debut against the Penn State Nittany Lions on September 1. He had six carries for 15 yards in the 33–7 victory over the Nittany Lions.[13] In the next game against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, he had six carries for 78 yards and his first collegiate rushing touchdown in the 61–0 victory.[14] On October 25, Gore had a breakout game against the West Virginia Mountaineers with six carries for 124 yards and two touchdowns in the 45–3 victory.[15] On November 17, he churned 11 carries for 157 rushing yards against Syracuse.[16]

As a true freshman for the Miami Hurricanes football in 2001, Gore totaled 562 yards with five touchdowns on 62 carries, for a 9.1-yard avg, as a backup to Clinton Portis on Miami's 2001 National championship winning team.[17][18] Gore has the third-best season total in school history by a freshman and was named Sporting News' Big East Freshman of the Year.[19]

Gore returned from his injury in the 2003 season. He shared the backfield with Jarrett Payton and Tyrone Moss.[22] Gore started the season strong with three games going over 100 rushing yards and scoring three touchdowns in that span. However, on October 2, Gore played in his final game of the 2003 season against the West Virginia Mountaineers and had four carries for 15 yards before tearing his ACL again, which ended his season.[23][24][25]

Gore finished the 2003 season with 89 carries for 468 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns to go along with 12 receptions for 105 receiving yards.[26]

2004 season

Gore returned from his ACL injury to lead the Miami backfield in carries, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns.[27][28][29] In the regular season opener against Florida State, he recorded the game-winning 18-yard touchdown run in overtime.[30] He recorded three games with over 100 rushing yards, including a 195-yard performance against Virginia on October 13. He finished the season with 197 carries for 945 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns.[31]

In 28 total games with the Hurricanes, Gore rushed 380 times for 1,975 yards (a 5.7 rushing average) and seventeen touchdowns.[32] When his college career was finished, Gore's 1,975 yards ranked seventh on the school's career-record list and his seventeen touchdowns were tied for tenth.

San Francisco 49ers

2005 season

See also: 2005 San Francisco 49ers season

Gore was selected in the third round with the 65th overall pick of the 2005 NFL draft by the San Francisco 49ers. He was the sixth running back to be selected in the 2005 NFL Draft. In addition, he was the third of five Miami Hurricanes to be selected that year.[37]

Gore signed a three-year contract with the team on July 28, 2005. He played in 14 games, starting one, in the 2005 season. Gore was inactive for two contests with a groin injury. He finished the season seventh among all NFL rookie running backs in rushing average with 4.8 average per run. He led the team in rushing with 608 yards on 127 carries and three rushing touchdowns.[38][39] Gore also caught 15 passes for 131 yards. His season was the first time a rookie led the 49ers in rushing since 1990, when Dexter Carter paced the team with 460 yards.[40] Gore's 608 rushing yards was the highest for a 49ers rookie since Roger Craig had 725 yards rushing in 1983.[41]

Gore rushed for 17 yards on four carries and caught two passes for 21 yards in his NFL debut, a 28–25 victory over the St. Louis Rams.[42] Two weeks later, he rushed for 42 yards on seven carries with a 5.4-yard average in a 34–31 loss against the Dallas Cowboys.[43] Gore led the team with 89 yards on nine carries and recorded a then career-long 72-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of a 52–17 road loss to the Washington Redskins.[44] The touchdown was the longest run from scrimmage by a 49ers player since running back Kevan Barlow had a 78-yard rush against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2003.[45] The touchdown run was fifth-longest run from scrimmage by a 49ers rookie. Gore led the team in rushing for the third straight week with 55 yards on 14 carries (3.9-yard avg.) at the Chicago Bears, with a 19-yard long.[46] He made his first NFL start in a 10–9 road loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, amassing over 100 combined yards with 79 yards rushing on 19 attempts for a 4.2 yard average with three receptions for 57 yards.[47] Gore had his first two-touchdown game in a 24–20 victory over the Rams, with a 10-yard scoring run in the second quarter and a 30-yard score in the fourth quarter.[48] In the regular-season finale against the Houston Texans, he registered his first 100-yard game with 108 yards on 25 carries as the 49ers won by a score of 20–17.[49] Following the season, he had major surgery on both shoulders.[50]

2006 season

See also: 2006 San Francisco 49ers season

Gore was elevated to the top of the 49ers' depth chart following the August 19, 2006, trade that shipped incumbent starter Kevan Barlow to the New York Jets in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.[51][52]

Gore emerged as one of the top running backs in the NFL in his first full season as the starter. He carried the ball 312 times for a franchise-record 1,695 yards, eclipsing Garrison Hearst's 1998 record of 1,570 yards.[53] Gore became the first player in franchise history to lead the NFC in rushing yards. He also set a franchise record with 2,180 combined yards (1,695 yards rushing and 485 yards receiving), breaking Hearst's single-season record of 2,105 total yards (1,570 rushing and 535 receiving) set in 1998. Gore's total placed him second in the NFC to Steven Jackson (1,528 rushing and 806 receiving, 2,334 total) and fourth overall in the entire NFL. In the 49ers' first meeting against the Seattle Seahawks, Gore set the 49ers' single-game rushing record by totaling a career-high 212 yards on 24 carries, besting the 201 yards by Charlie Garner on September 24, 2000, against the Dallas Cowboys.[54][55] Gore had nine 100-yard rushing games in 2006, giving him ten for his career. His nine 100-yard games in 2006 shattered the franchise record for most 100-yard games in a season. Garrison Hearst (1998) and Roger Craig (1988) each had six 100-yard games in a season. Gore was the first 49ers running back to have three-straight 100 yard games since Garrison Hearst had a 49ers-record four straight 100-yard games during Weeks 13–16 of the 1998 season. In those three weeks, Gore set the team record for most rushing yards in a three-game span.[56][57][58]

Gore's breakaway ability helped him finish the season with 5.4 yards per carry, placing him third in the entire NFL, behind only Michael Vick (8.4 YPC on 123 carries) and Maurice Jones-Drew (5.7 YPC on 166 carries). The 5.4 yards per carry are tied for the second-best in 49ers history. Among players with over 300 carries, however, Gore's season puts him in elite company. Very few times has a player averaged as many yards per carry as Gore did while carrying the ball over 300 times. The players ahead of him contain Hall of Famers and feature five 2,000-yard rushing seasons.[59]

Gore finished the season with eight rushing touchdowns, tied for the third-most in a season by a 49er.[60] He finished the season with a team-leading 61 receptions.[61] Only two other teams had a running back as their leading receiver: New Orleans (Reggie Bush) and Philadelphia (Brian Westbrook). Of those, only Gore and Westbrook also led their team in rushing. Gore also caught his first receiving touchdown of his career on the road against the Seahawks when quarterback Alex Smith avoided a sack and found Gore along the left sideline for a 20-yard score. Gore led the NFL with 16 rushes for 20 or more yards. Gore earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors twice during the 2006 season. He earned the honor in Week 5 after rushing for 134 yards on 27 carries and catching three passes for 38 yards against the Oakland Raiders.[62] In addition, he won in Week 11 after his franchise-record 212 rushing yards, and 26 yards on four receptions, against the Seahawks.[63] After Gore's tremendous season, he was named the starting running back to the NFC Pro Bowl team in his first Pro Bowl nomination.[64]

At some point during his breakout season, Gore was given the nickname "The Inconvenient Truth", which stuck with him for the rest of his career. The nickname was inspired by the movie An Inconvenient Truth written by former United States Vice President Al Gore, which was released in May of the same year.[65]

Gore had benefited that season from the tutelage of then-offensive coordinator Norv Turner, whose offensive scheme places a heavy emphasis on running the football.[66]

Though Gore had fumbling problems at the beginning of the season, losing the ball once in each of the first four games, he improved his carrying and only fumbled three more times the rest of the year.[53]

2007 season

Gore signed a contract extension through 2011 estimated to be worth $28 million over four years on March 28, 2007. He also stated that it was his goal to surpass Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record in 2007. He said that he would gain 2,200 yards.[67]

Gore broke a bone in his hand in the non-contact training camp drill on July 30 and missed the entire preseason.[68] He was able to return in time for the regular-season opener against the Arizona Cardinals on September 10.[69] On September 13, Gore's mother died of a kidney disease.[70] He missed a practice, but returned to the team and scored two touchdowns the following Sunday in a narrow 17–16 road victory over the St. Louis Rams.[71] Gore's best game came against the Cardinals in their divisional rematch in Week 12, where he recorded 116 rushing yards and two touchdown to go along with 11 receptions for 98 yards.[72] For his efforts, Gore earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week.[73] Three weeks later against the Cincinnati Bengals, he had a season-high 138 rushing yards in the 20–13 victory.[74]

Gore finished the season with 260 carries for 1,102 yards and five touchdowns to go along with 53 receptions for 436 yards and a touchdown as the 49ers finished with a 5–11 record.[75]

2008 season

See also: 2008 San Francisco 49ers season

Gore began the 2008 season against the Arizona Cardinals with 96 rushing yards on only 14 carries. Despite his impressive performance, which also included a 41-yard touchdown run, the 49ers lost by a score of 23–13.[76]

During Week 3, Gore dominated the Detroit Lions, rushing for over 120 yards and a touchdown in a 31–13 victory.[77] Three weeks later, Gore had his second 100-yard game of the season, as he rushed for 101 yards on 19 carries in a 40–26 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles.[78] In the regular-season finale against the Washington Redskins, Gore became the first running back in 49ers history to rush for 1,000 yards or more in three straight seasons as the 49ers won by a score of 27–24.[79]

Gore finished the season with 240 carries for 1,036 yards and six touchdowns to go along with 43 receptions for 373 yards and two touchdowns.[80]

Gore entered the 2009 season under the guidance of new running back coach Tom Rathman. He was also complemented by a new second-string back, 49ers' third-round draft pick Glen Coffee.[81]

After being nearly shut down in the season-opener against the Arizona Cardinals, Gore had a career day the following week in the home opener against the Seattle Seahawks.[82] Gore rushed for 206 yards for a 12.8-yard average, including a 79-yard and an 80-yard touchdown run in the 23–10 victory, becoming the second player in NFL history to rush for two touchdowns for 75 yards or more in a single game, with the other being Hall-of-Fame running back Barry Sanders.[83][84] He earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week for the fourth time in his career.[85]

Gore on the sidelines with the San Francisco 49ers, 2009

After missing two games against the St. Louis Rams and Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle injury, Gore returned in Week 7 against the Houston Texans.[86] While he had a successful game against the Chicago Bears in Week 10, gaining 104 yards with a touchdown,[87] he was used less in the 49ers' offensive game plan in the following three weeks, after the team adopted more of a spread offense.[88] In the 49ers' second divisional game against the Cardinals in Week 14, Gore had one of his most successful games of the season, rushing for 167 yards on 25 carries and a touchdown.[89] He earned his second NFC Offensive Player of the Week award for the 2009 season.[90] Against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, Gore had 16 carries for 107 yards against an Eagles team that had not given up a 100-yard game in 22 consecutive games.[91] Gore was named a first alternate for the 2009 Pro Bowl.[53] On January 20, 2010, Steven Jackson announced he would not be playing in the Pro Bowl because of injury, so Gore was named to the 2010 Pro Bowl in his spot, the second of his career.[92] For the season, Gore amassed 10 rushing touchdowns and 13 total touchdowns from scrimmage, both career bests.[93]

2010 season

See also: 2010 San Francisco 49ers season

After a slow start to the season with 17 carries for 38 yards against the Seattle Seahawks, Gore had 168 scrimmage yards (112 rushing, 56 receiving) against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2.[94][95] During Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs, he had nine receptions for 102 yards, his only career game with over 100 receiving yards.[96] Gore had rushed for four 100-yard games before fracturing his right hip in a Week 12 win over the Arizona Cardinals, prematurely ending his season[97] after the 49ers put him on IR.[98]

Gore finished the 2010 season with 203 carries for 853 yards and three touchdowns to go along with 46 receptions for 452 yards and two touchdowns.[99] He was ranked 94th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2011.[100]

2011 season

See also: 2011 San Francisco 49ers season

Gore agreed to a three-year extension, worth $25.9 million, on August 30, 2011. The extension kept Gore with the San Francisco 49ers through the 2014 season.[101]

During the offseason, the 49ers hired Jim Harbaugh to be their new head coach and built themselves around a combination of a great running game, a supplemental passing game and a power house defense.[102] This combination proved to be effective for Gore and the 49ers, leading them to a 13–3 record in the regular season and a playoff spot for the 49ers, their first such appearance since 2002 along with a first round bye.[103][104]

In the first three games of the season, Gore did not perform well, rushing for 148 yards on 59 carries for only one touchdown.[105] During Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles, the 49ers were down 23–3 at the end of the first half, but quarterback Alex Smith and Gore both led drives to narrowly win 24–23. Gore rushed for 127 yards on 15 carries and rushed for the game-winning touchdown when four minutes were left in the game.[106] In the next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Gore rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown in the 48–3 win for the 49ers.[107] However, his performance in that game was eclipsed by his performance the following week against the Detroit Lions, where he rushed a season-high of 141 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown in a 25–19 road victory, defeating the previously unbeaten Lions.[108]

The next few games went pretty well for Gore, rushing for 134 yards and a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns and 107 yards against the Washington Redskins, becoming the 49ers' record holder of most consecutive games with 100 yards with five.[109][110] However, against the New York Giants, Gore had an unmemorable performance, rushing for no yards and leaving in the second half with a knee injury.[111] This was his first game with no rushing yards.[112] Gore returned the next game, where he redeemed himself against the Arizona Cardinals, rushing for 88 yards and a touchdown.[113] However, he rushed for only 39 yards in the next game against the Baltimore Ravens as the 49ers lost by a score of 6–16.[114] The following week, however, proved to be a 49ers win against the St. Louis Rams, where Gore became the 49ers' all-time leading yardage rusher, surpassing Joe Perry's mark of 8,689 yards; he rushed for 73 yards on the game.[115] The next week, Gore performed well, rushing for 72 yards and the 49ers' only touchdown in the narrow 21–19 loss.[116]

Gore managed to finish the season on a high note, with a three-game winning streak, including one against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown.[117] Gore finished the season with 1,211 yards, having had five seasons with at least 1,000 rushing yards.[118]

During the playoffs, Gore performed exceedingly well, helping the 49ers set up a touchdown by rushing for 42 yards in the divisional round in his playoff debut, a 36–32 victory over the New Orleans Saints; Gore had a total of 89 yards in the game.[119] During the NFC Championship Game, he rushed for 74 yards in the 20–17 overtime loss to the Giants.[120] Gore was ranked 28th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2012.[121]

In the 2012 regular season, Gore started all 16 games and had three games going over the 100-yard mark.[122] In the regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals at Candlestick Park, Gore became the all-time franchise leader in rushing touchdowns (51) as the 49ers won the NFC West.[123]

Gore finished the 2012 season with 258 carries for 1,214 yards and eight touchdowns to go along with 28 receptions for 234 yards and a touchdown.[124] He was also selected to play in the Pro Bowl, his fourth appearance.[125]

In the playoffs, the 49ers faced the Green Bay Packers once again, this time in the divisional round. Gore ran for 119 yards and a touchdown.[126] In the next round, the San Francisco 49ers visited the Georgia Dome to play against the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game. The game ended up with the San Francisco 49ers winning 28–24 with Gore having 90 rushing yards and two touchdowns, allowing the 49ers to go to Super Bowl XLVII, their first Super Bowl appearance since 1994.[127][128] In the Super Bowl, Gore had 19 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown, but the 49ers fell behind 28–6 early and could not complete the comeback, losing the game 34–31 to the Baltimore Ravens.[129] Gore was ranked 32nd by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2013.[130]

In Week 4, Gore had a big game rushing for 153 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries in a 35–11 road victory over the St. Louis Rams.[132] Gore and the running game led the 49ers to five straight victories. In Week 14, he had a 51-yard rush with four minutes left that help secure a 19–17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.[133]

On March 10, 2015, Gore signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts.[149] His contract included $8.5 million in guarantees.[150][151] Prior to signing with the Colts, it was widely reported that Gore had agreed to a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on March 9 to replace LeSean McCoy.[152] However, the following day several sources claimed that Gore had second thoughts about his agreement, and instead signed with Indianapolis.[153]

Gore enjoyed a respectable season, but 2015 marked the first season in which he played all 16 games and did not record at least 1,000 rushing yards. Gore finished ninth in the league in rushing yards with 967 and had six touchdowns, while also adding 34 receptions for 267 yards and a touchdown.[154][155] Gore found the endzone twice as part of an 86-rushing yard performance in a narrow Week 3 35–33 road victory over the Tennessee Titans.[156] He had a productive game against the Miami Dolphins, where quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was injured in what was the final game of his career. Gore stepped up to engineer an 18–14 road victory with 85 rushing yards on 15 carries with two touchdowns.[157] He moved up five more places to 15th all-time in rushing yards,[158] and also passed Steven Jackson in early October to become the NFL's active leader in career rushing yards.[159]

49ers advisory

On July 29, 2023, the 49ers hired Gore to join their office as a football advisor for the club.[227]

Personal life

Gore Sr.'s eldest son, Frank Gore Jr., was born in 2002 while Gore Sr. was in college at the University of Miami. Gore Jr. followed in his father's footsteps and plays running back. Gore Sr. did not plan for his son to end up playing football, remarking:

"Whatever he wants to do, he's going to do it; not because I played ball, he has to play ball. Me seeing him when he was a little kid playing outside with his bigger cousins, I knew he was going to play football, but if he doesn't want to play, as long as he gets his grades and does something positive with his life, I'm okay with it."

Due to his NFL career, Frank Gore Sr. was unable to see his son play in local football games past the age of 5 until his return to Miami 13 years later when he signed with the Miami Dolphins. On December 19, 2019, Gore Jr., a three-star prospect, committed to play football at University of Southern Mississippi after also receiving offers from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Florida Atlantic University.[228] In 2024, Gore Jr. signed with the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent; Gore Sr. praised Bills general manager Brandon Beane for the signing, calling him "the real deal" and promising that Gore Jr. would live up to his family name: "I know what I’m raising... My bloodline is for real... We’re coming to play. Buffalo got a dog; I promise you that."[229]

Charitable work

On April 12, 2018, Gore was honored by Miami Mayor Francis Suarez and given the 'Keys to the City'. As per Mayor Suarez, Gore "symbolizes the very soul of [Miami], is a product of our city, a product of the West Grove, where so many families for so many generations have grown up together." While receiving applause, Gore asked for his family and friends in attendance at the event to stand to be honored as well. In Gore's view, it was equally important to thank and honor those who had been with him throughout all the hardships he had faced in his life, including "growing up in a one-bedroom apartment with twelve people as a kid". Mayor Suarez proclaimed April 12 as "Frank Gore Day".[230][231]
