Gore, Hunter Create Potent 49er Backfield

SAN FRANCISCO (Bleacher Report) - After an underrated rookie campaign, Gore reeled off four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, including 1,695 yards and a dominant 5.4-per-carry-average in 2006.

Opponents last season witnessed him rush for over 1,200 yards and earn a third Pro Bowl nod at the age of 28.

Fast-forwarding to 2012, things look even more frightening for the opposition.

Now with a complementary back in Kendall Hunter at his side, opponents facing the San Francisco 49ers will experience as scary a backfield tandem as any in the NFL.
