Gore is reaching the tail end of his career, but he was still largely productive for the 49ers last season when he ran for 1,106 yards and four rushing touchdowns and he will go down as one of the greatest running backs in 49ers’ franchise history. Frank will be leaving San Francisco as the 49ers’ all-time rushing leader in yards and rushing touchdowns.
Gore will be tasked with filling a part of the void that was created when the Eagles traded away LeSean McCoy. As for the 49ers, it appears that they are ready to move forward with the Carlos Hyde era.
