Gore spent the 2019 season splitting time between Washington and the Chargers’ practice squads. During the preseason, Gore played in every exhibition game, including a performance where he led the team on the ground against the 49ers. He finished with 64 yards and the game-winning 11-yard score.
After spending a year with the Alabama Crimson Tide, Gore transferred to Louisiana-Lafayette where he spent two more seasons prior to turning pro. As a Ragin’ Cajun, Gore rushed for 1,247 yards and 12 touchdowns from 2017-18.
Gore becomes the fourth running back in a position group that now includes Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson, and 2020 fourth-round pick Joshua Kelley.
