On Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers released veteran Pro Bowl fullback Mike Tolbert. Tolbert has been in Carolina for the past five seasons, making the Pro Bowl three times during that span.

“I feel very fortunate to have coached Mike for nearly his entire career,” head coach Ron Rivera said. “He was someone we targeted in 2012 because we felt he would be a good addition to our offense and he was very productive for us.”
Rivera added, “He brought great energy and leadership to our locker room and I wish him the best.”
Tolbert certainly did bring great energy, as displayed by the many dances his did during his tenure with the team.
There was that time he hit the truffle shuffle in his first year with the team:
Or later that season when he was keeping the fridge running:

He can also keep it PG and just hit the Carlton like he did against the Saints in 2015:
SB Nation’s Panthers blog Cat Scratch Reader indicates that Tolbert had been on the decline when it came to his play on the field, and now Darrel Young and Devon Johnson will have their opportunities at fullback.
If there’s outrage from some Carolina fans over the release of Tolbert, now you know why. Their favorite dancing fullback is now going to either find a new home in 2017, or dance his way into retirement.
We’re counting on the former.
