Frank Gore believes one NFL running back plays like he did when he was in he league during the 2000s and 2010s. In an interview with On3, Gore revealed which current running back reminds him of himself.
“I would say Josh Jacobs, and the reason why I would say quick twitch, got good eyes, great burst,” Gore told On3. “He’s tough, physical when he runs the ball. Got good speed but not great speed, but on a good day, he can get the big run touchdowns.”
Jacobs, who is in his second season with the Green Bay Packers, is having a strong 2025 season, rushing for 447 yards and nine touchdowns in seven games. He’s coming off a 2024 season where he rushed for 1,329 yards and 15 touchdowns, and that led to him being named to the Pro Bowl.
Jacobs is in his seventh NFL season and spent his first five years with the Las Vegas Raiders. In those five seasons, Jacobs rushed for 5,545 yards and 46 touchdowns. He finished second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting in 2019 and was named to the Pro Bowl twice.
