According to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, the Buffalo Bills have signed Frank Gore Jr. as an undrafted free agent. The 22-year-old Southern Miss star spent each of his four years with the Golden Eagles program.
Gore Jr. joins a Buffalo running back room led by 2023 breakout star James Cook, Ray Davis, Darrynton Evans and veteran Ty Johnson. Gore’s old man spent the 2019 season with the Bills, rushing for 599 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 13 receptions for 100 yards.
Listed at 5-foot-8 and 195 pounds, Gore Jr. rushed for 1,131 yards and 10 touchdowns in his final year at Southern Miss. The year before, Gore Jr. rushed for a career-high 1,382 yards and nine touchdowns.
The elder Frank Gore sits third all-time in career rushing yards (16,000), behind only Emmitt Smith (18,355) and Walter Payton (16,726). Gore was a five-time Pro Bowler who led the San Francisco 49ers to three NFC Championship Games (2011, 2012 and 2014) and a Super Bowl 47 appearance.
