The Miami Dolphins have seen a number of NFL legends come and go through their facilities in the team’s storied history, and running back Frank Gore was among the very best.
At the end of the week, Gore told Heidi Watney on an Instagram live that he plans to sign a one-day contract with the San Francisco 49ers, where he spent the majority of his career, before announcing his retirement. The former Miami Hurricane also said that he plans to join the team’s front office.
Gore, who was out of football in 2021, spent one year with the Dolphins in 2018, leading the team in rushing yards, as he recorded 722 yards on 4.6 yards per carry. However, he wasn’t able to find the end zone, the only season of his career that he didn’t do so. A foot injury near the end of the season cost him the final two games.
He finishes his career near the top of the NFL in most rushing statistics, as he recorded 3,735 carries (third-most), 16,000 rushing yards (third-most) and 81 rushing touchdowns (19th-most).
