In what may well be his final season as a 49ers player, Gore is a guy hell-bent on making sure that everyone around him puts the team first. He does, however, indulge himself one bit of individual competition: A third-round pick out of Miami in 2005, Gore can rattle off all five backs picked ahead of him, and he proudly notes that he's one of two runners from that crop still employed by an NFL team. The other survivor, former Chargers fourth-rounder Darren Sproles, reasserted his relevance on Sunday, taking a punt 82 yards to the house to give the Eagles a 21-10 lead with 8:48 left in the second quarter.
