Tolman was efficient on Friday night and showed that he is a complete, three-down back. He shows good patience as a runner and anticipates an opening behind the line, and once it starts to open up, he uses his lateral quickness to get there and does well getting small through the first level and being slippery. He also displays good hands and is elusive in the open field.
