Patrick DiMarco looks to keep fullback role alive with Falcons, or elsewhere

Atlanta Falcons fullback Patrick DiMarco was well aware of how NFC South rival Carolina released Mike Tolbert, a three-time Pro Bowl fullback, on Tuesday.

“I was surprised,” DiMarco said. “Mike’s been a good player in this league for a long time. It’s kind of goes to show you how cutthroat it is. Mike will land on his feet. Mike will have a job, probably in the next few days.”

Although DiMarco is set to become an unrestricted free agent on March 9, he'll have a job going into the 2017 season, too.
