‘Reuther, 57, was touched about how Castro would put the children first before his own ailments. “That was a big reason I became buddies with him after that, you know.

Only Drew Brees has more, with eight. That’s pretty good company for a sophomore quarterback who is under the gun for accuracy issues and bad decision making.’
Buffalo Bills’ Frank Gore Set To Pass Barry Sanders For 3rd On All-Time NFL Rushing List
‘Gore is in elite company. His 18,914 yards from scrimmage are fifth in NFL history, trailing only receiver Jerry Rice and running backs Marshall Faulk, Smith and Payton. All four of those players are in the Hall of Fame. Gore will almost certainly join them there someday. For now, he still has some work to do on the field.
