The Last NFL Running Back.

I realize i'm totally biased, as a lifelong 49er fanatic, but Frank The Tank Gore has played for a bunch of teams and had a truly impressive career, ranked 3rd overall in rushing yards, behind only Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton, of course.  Perhaps someone else will enjoy this article half as much as i did.  What a true legend.

Thanks for sharing. I never got to watch him much as I’m a Packers fan but always respected him. I don’t think we’ll see too many anymore like him. Heck right now I don’t think there’s even a 10k yard rusher. i think Henry has the most right now if I’m not mistaken

Gonna miss guys like Gore, I didn't really follow him during his career, as I didn't care for football then. But the guy is 3rd in career rushing yards, averaged 1000 yards a season for his whole 16 year career. And wasn't even supposed to play in the NFL after tearing both of his ACLs at Miami.

Hard to not cheer for guys liek Frankie Gore. How many RBs can even make it til their thirties, let alone have a long and storied career putting up consistent numbers, while battling injuries.
