Frank Gore Biography, Age, Height, Wife, Net Worth, Family

The 2017 offseason, Gore trained for the season in a familiar fashion, down in Miami working out with younger running backs from around the league. The Colts brought in competition at the running back position drafting Marlon Mack to compete for the starting job. Gore embraced the competition saying "to have depth to compete, I feel like everybody should have depth to compete at their position. The more people you've got, the hungrier that person should be. You know the guys from last year and adding the new young guys come training camp time the best man should win. If you love this game you're gonna step up to the plate." In the season opener, Andrew Luck's shoulder injury prevented him from playing so the offense struggled against the Los Angeles Rams, losing 46–9, and Gore only got 10 rushing attempts for 42 yards. In Week 2, in a 16–13 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Gore rushed for 46 yards and his first rushing touchdown of the 2017 season, moving him into the top 25 all-time for career rushing touchdowns. This was followed by 57 yards and a touchdown in a Week 3 31–28 win over the Cleveland Browns, then four consecutive games under 50 yards, before 82-, 51-, and 54-yard performances in Weeks 8 through 10, all with zero touchdowns over the seven-game span. After the bye, Gore had 62 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 20–16 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and 61 yards in Week 13 to pass both Jerome Bettis and LaDanian Tomlinson and move up to fifth on the all-time rushing list. Playing against the Buffalo Bills in a blizzard and deep snow in Week 14, Gore had a career-high 36 rush attempts for 130 yards, his highest yardage total in his three years with the Colts, in the 13–7 overtime loss. Gore finished the season with 961 rushing yards, bringing his career total to 14,026. He became the fifth player in NFL history to amass 14,000 rushing yards in his career, joining Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, and Curtis Martin. On March 1, 2018, the Colts announced that they would not re-sign Gore, allowing him to become a free agent at the start of the new league year.
