He never led the league in rushing, and only had one 2nd team all pro nod. That will keep him out for a while.
It's all because he played for terrible teams - meaning he didn't get the ball enough to have those seasonal eye-popping stats.
Gore was easily a better pro back than:
Edge
Emmitt
Martin
Bettis
A push with:
Faulk
Tomlinson
Only difference with any of those is playing with god-awful offenses.
Should be, but won't be, an easy Hall nod.
