Veteran running back Frank Gore spent the 2019 NFL campaign with the Buffalo Bills, rushing for 599 yards and a couple of touchdowns and helping the Bills make the playoffs for just the second time since 2000.
However, he averaged a career-low 3.6 yards per carry, and at 36 years old, you have to wonder how much he has left in the tank.
Still, Gore feels he can still contribute and that it's just a matter of who wants him:
“I’m going to wait til March and see what team really wants me,” Gore told Chris Simms of NBC Sports. “I still feel good. I know I still can play. It’s just gotta be right.”
Gore, who played his collegiate football at the University of Miami, was originally selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round (65th pick overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft.
He spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the 49ers, making five Pro Bowl appearances and posting eight 1,000-yard campaigns, with his best year coming in 2006 when he racked up 1,695 yards and eight scores while registering 5.4 yards per attempt. He also hauled in 61 receptions for 485 yards and a touchdown.
Since his lengthy tenure in San Francisco, Gore has played for the Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins and the Bills.
The Flora native has acknowledged that he would like to return to the Dolphins, where he spent the 2018 campaign and rushed for 722 yards while logging 4.6 yards per tote, but whether or not a rebuilding Miami squad would want to take on a declining halfback remains to be seen.
