The 2024 NFL Draft was all about draft prospects with fathers who also played in the NFLIt started atop the draft with No. 4 overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr., son of Hall of Fame wideout Marvin Harrison. It continued with such standouts like Clemson's Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Brenden Rice, son of Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice, being selected on Day 3 of the draft.But Frank Gore Jr. wasn't quite as lucky as his father, 2005 third-round pick Frank Gore. The younger Gore wasn't selected in 2024 despite rushing for1,131 yards and 10 touchdowns during his final season at Southern Mi s, but he quickly found a home where he will look to establish himself as an NFL player.Here's what to know about where Gore Jr. landed and the chances the running back has of making the active roster of his new team.SN's NFL DRAFT HQ: | Did Frank Gore Jr. get drafted?No, Frank Gore Jr. was not selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. A total of 19 running backs were chosen over the draft's 257 picks, but Gore was not among them.That allowed Gore to fall to the ranks of the undrafted, where he could choose his favorite landing spot among interested teams.Which team signed Frank Gore Jr.?Gore signed with the Bills, per . Buffalo entered the 2024 NFL Draft with just three running backs on its roster James Cook, Ty Johnson, and Darrynton Evans so it stood to reason that the team would target depth at the position.This was a familiar landing spot for the younger Gore. Hunter Gaddis Jersey His father spent hispenultimate NFL season in 2019 with the Bills, totaling 599 yards and two touchdowns on 166 carries.Gore Jr. will hope to earn a similar role to the primary backup one his father held in 2019. The Southern Mi s product will also hope to improve upon the 3.6 yards per carry his father averaged during that season. That mark was the second-worst of the elder Gore's career ahead of only his final season with the Jets in 2020 (3.5).MORE: Bills RB depth chartThe Bills now have five running backs on their roster after spending a fourth-round pick on Ray Davis and signing Gore Jr. as an undrafted free agent.Here's a look at how that unit is projected to look with the NFL Draft now in the books. Rank Player 1 James Cook 2 Ray Davis 3 Ty Johnson 4 Darrynton Evans 5 Frank Gore Jr.As an undrafted player, Gore will face an uphill battle to make the roster. His main competition for a spot within the organization will be Evans, a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft who has been with five teams during his NFL career.If Gore can dispatch Evans, he will then have to either earn a spot on the roster as a fourth-string running back or overtake Johnson in the battle for the No. 3 running back job. Perhaps he can do that or maybe Davis won't have a true stranglehold on the backup job but it is still a lofty ask of the 22-year-old rookie.All that's to say that Gore may be better served spending a season on the practice squad as he looks to establish himself as an NFL player.The good news is that Gore landed with a team that needs more productive running backs. That should give the 5-8, 201-pound back a chance to prove himself in Buffalo. Bryan Lavastida Jersey
