RB Frank Gore Jr. is exactly where he wanted to be in Buffalo

Frank Gore Sr. played for five teams during a 16-year NFL career and now works in an advisory role with the 49ers for whom he spent most of his career.

His son, running back Frank Gore Jr., had his choice of teams as an undrafted free agent, and he said Buffalo was where he wanted to be.

“(Gore Sr.) said there are great people here” Gore Jr. said Friday, via Sal Maiorana of Democrat and Rochester Chronicle. “He knows they will take care of me and he knows coach (Kelly Skipper) will push me to be the best I can be. He just talks about the people in this organization and (general manager Brandon) Beane and everyone around the organization.

Frank Sr. spent the 2019 season with the Bills, sharing time with then-rookie Devin Singletary and totaling 599 yards and two touchdowns in his penultimate season. It was quarterback Josh Allen’s second season.

“I’ve come to love three games,” said Frank Jr., who played at South Mississippi. “It was cold when they played the Jets at the end of the season. But I loved it here. What do they say: “Hey, hey, hey, hey.” Yeah, I loved that. It’s like one of the most enthusiastic places I’ve ever been.

Frank Sr., a third-round pick in 2005, told CBS Sports after the draft that teams were “sleeping on my son” and added that “the lineage is real.”

If Frank Jr. is half the running back his father was, the Bills will have a good one for a long time.
