FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — After 16 seasons and 16,000 rushing yards, running back Frank Gore isn’t ready to call it a career — not yet.
Gore, the New York Jets’ leading rusher in 2020, said he’s undecided on his future.
“I’m going to get some down time with the fam, get back to Miami and chill out with my kids,” he said Tuesday on a Zoom call with reporters. “Then I’ll see what’s up.
“I still have fun playing the game of football, but I haven’t made a decision yet.”
“I’m not going to lie, I had a great time even though we didn’t win,” he said Tuesday. “These young guys worked their behinds off.” Gore signed with the Jets, in large part, because of a previous relationship with coach Adam Gase, who was fired Sunday night. “Me, as a friend, I felt for him because I know how much he loves coaching the game of football,” Gore said. “Adam was always good to me, but he knows the business.” Gore was lauded throughout the season by his teammates for his work ethic and willingness to mentor young players. “It was unbelievable to watch, and it made you realize what it takes to have a Hall of Fame career and what it takes to be that great of a football player,” quarterback Sam Darnold said. “And he’s just a special player, a special human being and he was put on this earth to play football.”New York Jets RB Frank Gore sits down with Adam to talk about playing next year in what will be his 17th NFL season. They also discuss the future of Sam Darnold with the Jets and who might win this year’s Super Bowl.
