The records just keep on coming for Frank Gore.

A week after moving into 10th place on the all-time rushing list, Gore has now moved past Jim Brown and into ninth-place place.

The 33-year-old rushed for a 49ers franchise record 11,073 yards in 10 seasons with San Francisco.

The more Gore continues to achieve, the more likely his gold jacket will be awaiting him in Canton at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Other running backs that Frank Gore has passed in career rushing yards: Franco Harris, Thurman Thomas, John Riggins, Corey Dillon, O.J. Simpson, Warrick Dunn and Ricky Waters. If he keeps this pace he’ll likely pass Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson by the end of 2016.

Here’s the full list (via Pro Football Reference).

1. Emmitt Smith 18,355 (1990-2004)
2. Walter Payton 16,726 (1975-1987)
