San Francisco's Gore Overcomes Dyslexia And Now Is Core of Offense

alen1 · Jun 29, 2008

SANTA CLARA – Mike Martz said running back Frank Gore was quick on the playing field and even quicker in the classroom this spring.

"He's a one-time guy. You tell him once, and he has it," the 49ers' offensive coordinator said of Gore, who is entering his fourth season. "That's really a remarkable quality. He really learns fast. He's a very sharp guy. So that means you can use him in a variety of ways."

The statement is telling.

Gore suffers from dyslexia, and entering the 2005 draft, many teams wondered whether he would be able to absorb an NFL playbook. Gore hasn't had any problems in the classroom since joining the 49ers, and Martz's notoriously large and complex system hasn't thrown him, either.
