The 49ers know something or two about drafting running backs with severely damaged knee ligaments. They picked one up in the third round in 2005, in the expectations that, must he recover, theyad be obtaining a real bargain. His name was Frank Gore. Enter: the 131st pick of the 2013 NFL Draft. With on the Aber-talented, Aber-injured Marcus Lattimore adequate depth at the top to bottom and an already strong roster, position, the San Francisco Bay Area 49ers got a chance. Problem? Lattimore can owe this leap of faith by the Niners in significant part to Gore, who stands as a reminder that RBs can recover from so-called profession ending injuries suffered throughout college, and even grow. In reality, both shells have already been close for a time. Goreas number is worn by lattimore (21.) And Gore also called Lattimore after putting up with that fateful second leg injury: SFGate: aHe told me to keep my good attitude,a Lattimore said. aI doubted myself, I did accomplish that and I lost hope. But now itas merely a great, great situation to be in.a So just how bad was it? Heas damaged his ACL, PCL, and MCL. At that point he ran out of Class, but he'd have torn these, too if he'd more, Iam sure. Oh, and his knee was dislocated by him in October. The Sc Gamecock, who is the whole package, would have gone in the very first round had his knee been obliterated by him not. Howas 41 TDs in 29 games noise? Whatas even more incredible, is his unbelievable road to recovery. Jeff Darlington of NFL.com documented his treatment back February: aMan, I donat know, but a after the injury happened, I began thinking,a Lattimore said I feel. aIam destined because of this. Iam likely to keep coming back using this. Maybe itas merely to help somebody else as time goes on thatas going to feel the same specific thing. Someone is going to split his ACL in his sophomore year. Heas likely to be a great player. Then, heas likely to split it his junior year. Then, heas likely to look it up. And heas planning to find some motivation in my history. aI feel like Iam meant with this. Iam not worried about anything. I understand Iam likely to be great.a and keep coming back Seems like an awesome story in the making. He may end up getting Goreas work from him, if he does end up getting back on track. Howas that for funny? But thatas still an extended shot. Just watch the damage under and youall understand why his resurrection has been so unbelievable.

Look it over in the store. Adam Schefter And this springs Mr. Irrelevant, likely to Indianapolis, is...South Carolina TE Justin Cunningham. Buster Olney Braves people today had plenty of nutrients to state in regards to the Pirates' pitching. The Cardinals' participants could possibly agree. Ethan Strauss Good point. RT @evansclinchy LeBron could be the most exciting player and Heat-Bucks is the line. T.J. Simers @ LAT perhaps mentioning anything in regards to a love of life will be waste of time "@What_A_Weasel_: Hope someone kills @LATimesTJSimers" Arash Markazi FINAL: Grizzlies 104, Clippers 83. The line has become tied 2-2. It's best of three with 2 of the following 3 in L.A.
