Frank Gore is a definite a HOFer. Not a first ballot guy, but he'll get in for sure.

Some of his notables:
Only E.Smith and W.Payton have more rushing yards
He and E.James are the only RBs in the top 15 not already in the HOF.
4th in total yards from scrimmage. The rest of the top 10 are in the HOF.
Niners all time leader in rushing yards.

Jerome Bettis is in the HOF, and here is how Gore compares to him:

Gore is going to work in the 49ers front office in some capacity. I'm not sure what. I wonder if that means he's done with boxing.
