There were 257 players drafted in last month's NFL Draft, but Frank Gore Jr. was not one of those players.

The former Southern Miss running back later signed with the Buffalo Bills after going undrafted. His five-time Pro Bowl running back father, Frank Gore Sr. spent one season with the Bills. The younger Gore plans to use the fact that every NFL team passed up on him in the draft as fuel for his professional football career, saying his undrafted status helped push him.

"It pushed me a lot," Gore said of getting passed over in the 2024 Draft.

"There’s no way 257 people are better than me in this draft, but now that that process is over, I’m a Bill, I’m here to compete, and I’m here to push my teammates, and push the running back room and try to do it on special teams," Gore said.
