The New York Jets managed to shore up some quality depth in the backfield behind LeVeon Bell by signing Frank Gore. It appears the 37-year-old continues to withstand the effects of Father Time.

Gore is entering his 16th year in the NFL heading into the 2020 NFL season. According to Ralph Vacchiano of Sports New York, head coach Adam Gase shared some high praise for how the Jets running back has looked in training camp:

He looks the same as he did 12 years ago. I cant explain it. When I watch him I flash back to 2008. He looks the same. I dont know how. It doesnt make sense.

Hes going to look like that when hes 60.

The Jets coach is one of the few coaches that has gotten to witness the different stages of Gores career play out firsthand. The two became well-acquainted during their stint with the San Francisco 49ers and they would eventually reunite with the Miami Dolphins heading into the 2018 campaign.

This relationship undoubtedly played a part in the mutual interest between Gore and the Jets this offseason. The veteran had even cited Gase as a major factor for his signing in free agency. Fortunately, it seems he has continued to display the type of skill set that has kept him in the NFL after all these years.

Gore is now slated to serve as a complementary option to Bell in the backfield. His experience should help serve as a stabilizing factor following an unprecedented offseason due to the coronavirus pandemic.
