Veteran RB Frank Gore would 'love' to play for 49ers again

Veteran running back Frank Gore hasn't made a decision regarding his future in the NFL. However, it appears he'll return if he has an opportunity to play for one specific team. 

Gore admitted that he would "love" the opportunity to return to the San Francisco 49ers, the team that drafted him in 2005, during an appearance on 95.7 The Game.

"Oh, oh, I'd come back fast," Gore said. "Man, I'd love to wear that No. 21 jersey one more time. If that was to happen, that would definitely be my last year, if I could come back and sign with the 49ers. I respect Jed, I respect the York family, I respect Kyle, I feel like one of the best play callers in the game right now . . . You gotta tell Jed and Kyle, just bring me back."

Gore spent 10 of his 16 NFL seasons with the 49ers, rushing for over 11,000 yards and 64 touchdowns with the franchise. He also had nearly 3,000 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns with San Francisco. 

The 37-year-old reached 16,000 career rushing yards this season with the New York Jets, joining Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith as the only running backs to accomplish the feat. 

It's unclear if the 49ers have any interest in bringing Gore back. Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon will enter free agency, which leaves the team with Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson.
