Bills take a shot on Frank Gore Jr.

Frank Gore Jr. Headshot

The Bills signed undrafted rookie RB Frank Gore Jr. The son of an NFL legend, Gore brings unmatched bloodlines to the pro game. He’s not the caliber of prospect we saw from his father, though. While stout, Gore is ultimately just 5’8, 198 pounds. He struggled with ball security (six fumbles from 2022-2023) and drops (three in 2023) – hardly a surprise given his 8¼" hands. That hand size ranks in the 2nd percentile among Combine RBs since 1999. Gore isn’t a dynamic athlete either, instead winning with patience, vision, and power. The true bull case comes from his college production, as the 22-year-old led Southern Miss in rushing for four straight seasons. His production peaked over the past two seasons with a combined 2,953 total yards. Gore also didn’t miss a game due to injury, despite racking up 759 carries in 47 games played. He’s obviously a long shot to ever be a true fantasy factor after going undrafted, although landing with the high-scoring Bills helps his chances.
