In the third round of the NFL Draft on Friday, the Saints selected TCU running back Kendre Miller. New Orleans also signed 1,000-yard running back Jamaal Williams from the Detroit Lions in free agency in March.

The Saints also waived quarterback Jake Luton on Tuesday after drafting Fresno State quarterback Jake Haener in the fourth round on Saturday after signing former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr this offseason.

As a walk-on at Alabama, Gore gained 108 yards on 24 rushing attempts in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He scored once for the Crimson Tide, running 10 yards for a touchdown in Alabama’s 54-16 victory over Florida in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 3, 2016. Gore also blocked a punt in that game, and Josh Jacobs picked up the bouncing football and returned it for a Tide touchdown.

After transferring to Louisiana-Monroe, Gore ran for 1,247 yards and 12 touchdowns on 295 carries and caught 34 passes for 254 yards and one TD in two seasons before trying to catch on in the NFL as an undrafted rookie in 2019.

In 2019 and 2020, the Los Angeles Chargers signed and released Gore four times, and he had a December 2019 stint on the Washington Redskins’ practice squad in the middle of those.

Gore started the 2021 season on the Kansas City practice squad, but he joined the Chiefs’ active roster on Oct. 12 and made his NFL regular-season debut on Oct. 17, 2021.

Gore played in 11 games for Kansas City in 2021, when he ran for 256 yards and two touchdowns on 51 carries and caught eight passes for 105 yards.

In 2022, the Chiefs released Gore from injured reserve on Aug. 25 with an injury settlement. Gore had sustained a thumb injury in the preseason. He was out of football until signing with the Saints on Nov. 9.
