- Is Frank Gore a Hall of Famer? It is a debate sure to rage on for at least the next five years. In this presentation we study his career, including his best runs, most impactful plays, and his lifetime statistics. In the pursuit of knowledge, we also compare his statistics to other Hall of Famers, and examine the expert opinions of others who have considered his Hall of Fame candidacy. It is only through such a comprehensive examination we, the public at large, can gain an educated understanding of the nature of his career and subsequent Hall of Fame candidacy.

Frank Gore's 66.4 Yards per Game places him ahead of many Hall of Fame Running Backs, including Jim Taylor, Larry Csonka, and Marcus Allen, as well as all three Hall of Fame RBs of the 49ers famed Million Dollar Backfield: Joe the Jet Perry, John Henry Johnson, and Hugh McElhenny.
Of the 14 NFL Running Backs to have scored 100 career Touchdowns, 11 are in the Hall of Fame. Adrian Peterson is yet to be eligible. Shaun Alexander scored 28 in a single season (2005) and is not recognized as a Hall of Fame candidate. And the only other RB with 100 TDs not yet enshrined is Frank Gore, who like Peterson is also not yet eligible.
Among the Top 10 rushers in NFL history, here’s how they rank by average yards per attempt:
4-Sanders (4.987 avg.)
5-Peterson (4.691)
9-Dickerson (4.426)
2-Payton (4.358)
10-Dorsett (4.339)
3-Gore (4.325)
7-Tomlinson (4.311)
1-Smith (4.163)
6-Martin (4.008)
8-Bettis (3.927)
16,000 yards is an incredible achievement (will we ever see 15,000 again?), and these numbers act in concert with that total: Gore was no compiler, he was one of the best to ever do it, averaging MORE yards per carry than LaDanian Tomlinson, Emmit Smith, Curtis Martin, and Jerome Bettis, all in the Top 10 All-Time, all in the Hall of Fame. Frank Gore outperformed Hall of Famers - not just any Hall of Famers, but Hall of Famers who were in the Top 10, ever.
Throw in receiving yards and Frank Gore is even more Dominant.
Rank by receiving yards:
7-Tomlinson 4,772
2-Payton 4,538
3-Gore 3,896
10-Dorsett 3,554
6-Martin 3,329
1-Smith 3,224
4-Sanders 2,921
5-Peterson 2,386
9-Dickerson 2,137
8-Bettis 1,449
When SF had nothing else we had Gore and he put a struggling franchise on his whole back until reinforcements could come. In my opinion the most atrocious SB play calling of all time was not giving him the ball on that last goal line series.
I hated that the Niners didn't give him the ball that close to the end zone
@@michaelmora9438 seattle took a page out of out book to lose a superbowl also lol
Such a travesty.
I strongly agree with every word in this statement… bad play calling and when we did give him the ball we moved down the field easily. Great assessment on a great player on a spoiled franchise(I know, I’m a spoiled fan) ✊🏾💯
Don't forget he ran against 8 man boxes most of time and still got the yards. The niners were trash so nobody talked about them or gore besides local sports
You can't have a 17 minute long highlight reel and NOT be HOF. Frank the Tank!
he was the only bright spot in those dark years for the niners
Thanks Josh for putting this together - awesome clips. HOF is a must for Frank Gore!
A guaranteed HoFer.
Such an absolutely gorgeous runner. Watching these highlights makes me wish I hadn't jumped off the bandwagon when he was in his prime.
Who ever dislikes this video is either an nfc west rival fan or doesn’t know shit about football, #21 thank you for the excitement and entertainment you are the work horse of every team you have been part of!
This one gave me that teary eyed nostalgic feeling. Especially seeing him do well for years after he left. It's a tragedy we didn't give him a shot after he got the 49ers to first and goal against the ravens. I think he gets it in there in every other universe and we have at least 6 rings in those too. Gore was a real surprise and joy to watch from start to finish a real guy you could hang your hat on as a fan .. Thanks for the memories Frank .. Thanks for another great vid Josh!
Considering his injuries from college, I'm amazed that he had such a long career. Or even drafted at all.
Exactly, n bounce back strong 🔥💪💯
The inconvenient truth is my all time favorite player love him retiring a Niner!
Same bro...,
In Madden 10, the added "protak", a feature where more than 3 players could be involved in a tackle (up to as many as 10). With a flick up of the right thumb stick, Frank could often squirm out of those piles for the huge runs we see in these highlights.
Frank Gore is so loved by the Faithful .... Thank you and God Bless Frank
9ER GANG
I’m really glad he is coming back to retire as a Niner. Thank you Frank!!!
@@reygallegos4912 he wants to work in the front office for us hes already said that idk if you know this if hes good for it cool if not :(
Love it thank you for this 🙏🏽❤️
Right! It just made my day!
Thank you Frank Gore! It's all about the U baby! My favourite player is finally gonna come back home for good 😊
You got all the plays I remember from his early days at SF. What a living legend!
What else can be said for Frank Gore? Just the principle of selfless actions and accolades speak for themselves. A ticket to the Hall of Fame. We have always had a running back in the backfield throughout the years but Frank gave the team and us fan consistent output for multiple years. I have great memories of #theinconvienenttruth #thetank #frankgore #hof
What a great tribute Josh!
Absolutely my favorite player of all time! What a career... Just a beast to overcome injury, bad teams, trades, etc. Class act and a true inspiration for all. #theinconvienenttruth
With out a shadow of a doubt Frank “the tank” Gore is a HOF!! Thank you for all the wonderful memories. Good luck in the 49ers front office
Considering the injuries he suffered at Miami, it is impressive for him to have such a long career. Favorite moment was when he broke off back to back 70+ yard runs for TDs. He was going off that year!
2:30 Not quite back to back, but he broke a record that was held by Barry Sanders.
Beautiful video.
He tried so hard for us.
Kept us competitive.
Still hurts we didn't give him the ball in the SB at the goaline.
Frank the Tank
On the PS2/Xbox NCAA & Madden games, Frank Gore doesn't get hurt and is often a top 5 draft choice. Often 2 or 3 behind the likes of Aaron Rodgers and I forget who else.
He is in my top 5. For his play, for his attitude, for his guts and great humanity.
I was on the field for the last candlestick home game, and had the chance to walk/jog besides him into the end zone after a great game. What a life time experience. Frank the tank Gore HOF!
Great recap - I laughed out loud with some of those ridiculous steamroller runs. What a legend for SF and the whole league.
The first jersey I ever owned as a 10 year old 49er fan. #21 Frank Gore. 16k yards, SF all-time leading rusher. Put him in the Hall of Fame TODAY. My all-time favorite player, up there with Rice, Montana, and Young. Carried the Niners when nobody else would step up...played on some horrible teams and STILL found a way to get all those yards and TDs.
I don't get the argument against him not being in the HOF. Take away his longevity, he still has the 3rd most rushing yards all-time, 5 Pro Bowls and one of the most dominant backs of his era. HOF lock
did it all in a passing era of the NFL as well
A very classy guy as well as a great player. I wish him all the best in retirement.
Whoever says this man isn’t a hall of famer needs to watch this 🤷🏽♂️
It was a pleasure to watch Gore play. He was the offense the first 5 years of his career with SF. Teams would stack the box all game and he’d still get his yards. I think the craziest stat ever about him was that he didn’t lose more than 2 yards on a run for the first 6 or 7 years of his career.
No kidding? That's an incredible stat!
He was always such a treat to watch play, even in the crappy seasons. It makes me wonder how much better he would've been had he not blown out both knees. He is a Legend for sure. I'm so happy he is retiring a 49er!
He played at such a high level for so many years in the NFL = 100% HOF
What a great career. Great narrative Josh
Thank you for putting this together. I hope all of our younger fans will see that Frank Gore is the GOLD Standard on and off the field! Frank the Tank forever Gold Blooded!! Amazing Video!!! 👏
Frank was the niners for so many years...all heart and tough....his runs are poetry....beautiful...loved every one....they let him go too soon...he looked the same at 35 years old...use the guy...
Frank Gore was also on a very short list of very good RB pass protectors for whoever the QB was!
My favorite SF 49ers player of all time ❤️
Best highlight reel I've seen of FRANK G! 🔥🔥HOF
Thank you for putting this together! 21 The Truth!
One of the best running backs ever played for the 49ers. Yes absolutely HOF definitely. Thank you lil buddy sad to see him retire though. But it's with the 49ers to end his career.
What a great tribute 💪🏽
If this man doesn't make the HOF 🤦
Frank was the man, he was on a ton of god awful 49er teams and was clearly the only threat that defenses had to worry about and he would STILL produce. The best 49ers RB of all time. I was at that game when he ran wild against Seattle. They couldn’t stop him.
The only thing he was missing was top end speed. But he was otherwise the complete package
Which time?
There is something about Frank Gore that makes you enjoy watching him. What a special player with a great personality.
My favorite running back for life.
Can you imagine Deebo, G.O.A T, Joe , Roger Craig and Frank in the same uniform, along with Tom Rathman as fullback? Unstoppable.
Frank had some fumbling problems in 2006 & 2007 near the goal line... so Madden/EA gave him the "fumble prone" trait and a low carry ratting that they never revised all the way in Madden 14. I had to edit my roster to play Franchise mode just to do him justice.
From a Broncos fan,,,,,,Frank was a thorn in every team's side. If he doesn't go in the HOF that would be a crime.. Why do they question this is what i want to know.
Awesome job with this tribute video. Frank will always be my favorite NFL player so much determination and heart in his runs
My childhood running back 💛❤️🙏
That 212 yd performance against sheattle, I'm pretty sure he got that in only 3 qtrs due to a sprained ankle early in the 4th
My favorite forty niner ever most fun to watch period
glad to see he will be coming back to the Niners to retire, its where he belongs. thanks for the 10 great years u gave us
yes so true...he got them there...he should have got at least 2 carries at the goal line in the the super bowl...we win...i think he goes in on first carry....
my favorite niner ever. what a guy. the inconvenient truth, Frank Gore. super dope reel. props to you Josh.
He ran like a caged bobcat
this man would’ve given The Faithful a Super Bowl if he was given the ball at the goal line in SB47.
damn man, im damn near in tears watching these old plays.. what great memories you brought us Frank
This video is tremendous. Thank you for the tribute to the living legend for the 49ers!!
Gore gets us to the five with the game on the line in the Super Bowl and we throw it on the next four downs. Unbelievable.
Everyone also says well he doesn't have the tds like other hofers but he would get the niners in the red zone and they wouldn't give the ball
A rare talent. Enjoy retirement.
Thank you for putting up an excellent video for one of the Niner greats. 👏👏
If Gore had .3 seconds added to his speed he would be the goat.
Should be a first ballot HOFer!
An original beast mode back 😤
Frank Gore was awsome. Also nice seeing Candlestick again.
First ballot Hofer to me and most. Always the best player on the niners offensive. Gore Would have won the MVP in the SB if Jim ran it in instead of throwing four straight passes.
The Bay Area loves you Frank
Thank you
FRANK GORE GONNA SCORE!!
He was such a pleasure to watch. Best broken field runner since Hugh Elhenny. And yes, I used to watch him, too.
You're a true diehard fan!
Imagine gore in his prime with Shanahan's playbook
He's on my 49er Mt. Rushmore with Joe, Jerry and Steve. That's how highly I regard Mr. Gore. Kyle Williams cost him a ring.
I can only imagine if he had top end speed. My god. So many times he would get caught.
Wish he got a ring
I wish he could've took the record all-time
Rumor has it..... babs is still chasing him! 😂
Same burst of speed all the way thru playz, explosive
a 1st down and more, the legend Frank Gore
gore is the most imporable rb to ever play. hbe was different he ran with sight and very high football iq. gore at the U, gore was robbed of maybe being the greatest rb of all time.....thats a big statement but whe recruited at the U he could run a 4.3, was the hardest worker(the greatest football stroy ive ever heard....willis macgee decided he was going to go train in the snow and was there early but as he arrived he saw something that caused his to doubt losing his starting job for the first time in his life as he saw frank gore running sprints in the snow butt naked but holding a fooball and in boots......he knew gore was going to destroy teams but this was before the acls), loved football moree than anything or anyone. his acl's happened ing back to back years causing his to not be able to train, after those 2 acl surgery...he ran a 4.8 his sr year and got to jmust below a 4.6 by the draft time.
gore had to relearn how to play foobtall in one year....49ers drafted him several rounds ahead of where he was expected to go, now only if mike smith didnt pick with his emotions, dude picked alex smith because alex opened the door for his family the day before, which is wild considering aaron rodgers had to play against a nearly nfl defense vs usc in which he broke the record for more straight completed pass in row in ncaa histroy. also during this time the number 1 picks got paid a shit load......rodgers stated he was willing to take a very sizable contract cut to be able to spend more money to be able to build a much better team up. aaron rodgers and frank gore would have been the greatest draft for any team in history. we wouldnt have had to go through the worst pasing offense in history....rodgers was at least accurate and just like he did at berkley he could drop the ball into gores hands. there is very few people i hate in 49ers history...mike smith is one of them,the name no 49er fan is suppose to utter in kyle williams, refs in the super bowls who have no idea how to call a foul that lost us 2 fucking super bowls....
i know how frank gore was able to last so long in the nfl, when ever you watch frank gore that is about to be hit any where pas the LOS....frank gore will always lean into anyone trying to hit him. this causes 3 things, missed tackles due to your body being to high as they arent learning into him, 2. it allowed him to be one of the greatest pass blocking rbs( not including fbs) 3. it caused the contact to be much lighter on his body which allowed him to play longer in the nfl. this also allowed him to push through for a couple extra yards due to him having the leverage much more often.
frank gore when looked on paper with no extext hes a very good long last rb......in reality he is the anomaly, he is frank the tank, he is the inconvenient truth, the nfl player who had a chance at being the goat tkaen away from him, one of the nfl players that you have to judge by seeing him and not reading a bunch of stats and saying all these people were better. i bet nearly almost all those ELITE rbs would have traded places with frank gore.
gore is 3rd all time in rushing yards but people forget that he was one was a greaty catching rb when hes given the chance with it as he avged 8.5 yards per catch after his whole career which i dont understand how his catching wasnt used more.
GOREYYYY BABY GOREYYY!!
Man they wasted this man’s career
One of the GOAT 49ers. I can't believe there's people out there that don't believe he's a Hall of Famer? He played for both my favorite NFL and NCAA teams (49ers & University of Miami)
His running skills were EPIC,DIDN'T CARE WHO WAS BEHIND HIM HE JUST KEPT RUNNING!!!!!
My favorite player of all time
Frank Gore’s skill with a Kyle Shanahan’s coaching style. Shiiiiiiit would be vicious.
Enlist Frank to be the conditioning coach.
for the 49ers lol
Should have given Frank Gore a chance to run the ball at the end of the Super Bowl. Niners would have won it!
The Inconvenient Truth!
The inconvenient truth.
GORE was so hot Weezy name dropped him on "if I ruled the world" remix
The best Frank Gore
Damn what a legend
Its a shame he never got a ring, but it doesn't take anyhting away from his many many accomplishments...!st ballot HOF no doubt!!
him LT and berry the 3 best running backs ever to never get a ring.
Thank you
I will show this video to anyone doubting Gore's HOF receipts.
G-d
Wow what an awesome surprise!
He’s 1st Ballot for sure don’t be disrespectful!
Frank gore was our Barry sanders..legend..go niners
I was flabbergasted when Gore went to the Colts in 2015 - why did they let him go ?
Good question. I think Gore wanted to play at least one year in Miami, where he grew up.
