Former Bills running back Frank Gore issues a two-word warning after his son signs with Buffalo.
Frank Gore warns anyone who doubts his son’s ability, “They’ll see.”
The renowned running back, who spent one season with the Buffalo Bills near the end of his career, spoke out when his son signed with the team on April 27. Frank Gore Jr. went undrafted following a successful career at Southern Miss, but he promptly signed as an undrafted free agent on Saturday.
The younger Gore will have a chance to make the team in Buffalo, where there is no experienced depth behind starter James Cook entering next season.
Frank Gore Sr.: ‘My Bloodline is for Real’.
Speaking with CBS Sports reporter Josina Anderson, the elder Gore expressed his excitement that his son had signed with the Bills and feels he can make an immediate impact.
“We’re okay. “We’re going to Buffalo, man, to do our thing,” Gore Sr. told Anderson on X. “Tell them they better be ready, trust me.”
The younger Gore made a big impact during his four seasons at Southern Miss, rushing for 4,022 yards and 26 touchdowns. Though he was seen as a potential Day 3 draft pick, Gore Jr. did not hear his name called but signed with Buffalo almost immediately after the draft concluded.
Gore Sr. said he wasn’t concerned that his son went undrafted and sid he saw a bit of himself in junior’s game.
“I understand what I’m raising. People slept on my son. “They slept on me, too,” Gore added. “They will see. My bloodline is true. Our (pre-draft) tests were identical. All the scouts were saying, “You can tell that’s my son.”
Gore Sr. spent the 2019 season with the Bills, running for 599 yards and two touchdowns while also catching 13 passes for 100 yards. He helped the Bills make the playoffs that season.
Speaking to Anderson, Gore Sr. said he has a lot of faith in Bills general manager Brandon Beane.
“He’s the real deal,” said Gore Sr, via Anderson. “I’m happy to get my son to this point. We’re coming to play. Buffalo got a dog, I promise you that.”
