In a surprising turn of events, Frank Gore Jr., the son of NFL veteran Frank Gore Sr., went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft despite an impressive college career. Gore Jr., who had consecutive seasons of rushing for over 1,000 yards at Southern Miss, was seemingly overlooked by every team during the draft process.

However, the Buffalo Bills quickly seized the opportunity and signed Gore Jr. as an undrafted free agent, recognizing his potential and the value he brings to the team. This move came as no surprise, as Buffalo had previously shown interest in Gore Jr. during the draft, even conducting a formal interview with him at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.

Upon hearing the news of his son's signing, Frank Gore Sr. took to Twitter to express his excitement and issue a warning to all the teams that passed on his son. "We're good," he stated confidently. "We're going to Buffalo man to do our thing. Tell them they better be ready - trust me. I know what I'm raising. Folks slept on my son; they slept on me too - they'll see. My bloodline is for real. Buffalo got a dog; I promise you that."

Gore Sr. further emphasized his confidence in his son's abilities, revealing that their pre-draft testing results were identical and that scouts could easily see the family resemblance. He also praised Buffalo Bills General Manager Brandon Beane, stating that he believes in his sincerity and professionalism.

Dane Brugler of The Athletic provided insight into what fans can expect from Gore Jr. on the field. While acknowledging that comparisons to his All-Pro father may be unrealistic, Brugler highlighted Gore Jr.'s vision, toughness, and potential on passing downs. He also mentioned Gore Jr.'s experience in punt coverage during his college years and his workhorse mentality, suggesting that he could be a valuable asset in the right offensive system.

With Gore Jr. now part of the Buffalo Bills organization, fans eagerly await the opportunity to witness his talents on the field. The undrafted running back may have been passed over by every team in the draft, but his determination, combined with the support of his father and the confidence of the Bills, makes him a player to watch. Buffalo got themselves a promising addition to their roster, and Gore Jr. is ready to make an impact in the NFL.
