This is going to be an interesting one to watch.

Finishes 3rd all time in rushing yards. 9 seasons of 1000+ yards over a career that saw the game shift more and more away from a featured back.

He was never a top 3 back in the league in any season other than 2006. Yet given the way the RB position has eroded over time I think he deserves it at some point.

What say you?

Frank Gore missed fewer games due to injury (15) in 16 seasons playing RB in the NFL than Caleb Chapman has in the last two seasons has playing WR for the Aggies.

The only two players to rush for more yards than Frank Gore are Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton. He's 5th in all purpose yards. The only real knock I know of is he wasn't a TD machine. He scored exactly 100 td's in his career. He was durable and dependable, a guy that showed up every day and did his job. He's one of those guys that might not make it in his first year, but his resume is enough for a gold jacket.

Doesn't matter for his HOF potential but I've read that in the history of all the players that have made it to the NFL from Miami he's in the argument for the toughest player to ever come out of that school, and he's 5'9".

The man will be in Canton.

Agree. Not even a question. His durability alone should get him there, then you add in his production. Easy decision.

I feel like since Curtis Martin is in, Frank Gore will eventually be in.

Doesn't he have like 11 billion children from different mothers?


But, yes, he deserves to be in.

He may or may not make the HOF in Football, but he apparently knocked some dude the F out in the boxing ring this weekend

He's obviously not worried about issues from head contact. The guy played runningback for years and decides after retiring "hey, I should get into boxing".

Glad you asked Bunkā€¦ he'll get in when he's old and senile.

I'll say what I said on twitter. If Gore isn't in the HoF, no pure running back will ever get in again.

I think Adrian Peterson will be in HOF.
(I also think Gore will be as well).

Given the rule changes, there's going to be a ton of quarterbacks and receivers make it.
