It's a safe bet most of us will never accomplish what Mike Tolbert has.

Eight NFL seasons. 44 career touchdowns. Two Pro Bowls.

But Monday, the Carolina Panthers' fullback was like most of us.

"I love to golf, but I'm not good at it," he admitted ahead of his inaugural charity event at Ballantyne Country Club.

The aim of the Tolbert Family Spade (Single Parenting And Developing Education) Foundation is to assist underprivileged children in single-parent families.

Because he hadn't yet run a big event like a tournament featuring a handful of his teammates and more than 150 golfers, Tolbert at first wasn't sure how much money he'd raise. He hoped to get to $30,000. By late Monday morning, a total reaching $50,000 looked possible.

“Being a product of a single-parent home, my mom drilled me daily about grades,” Tolbert said. “If I didn’t maintain a B average, I couldn’t play sports. And sports was life. So I’m just trying to do my part to give back.”

Of the Panthers who played, Tolbert was joined by fellow running backs Jonathan Stewart, Fozzy Whittaker and Brandon Wegher. Undrafted rookie Devon Johnson, who earlier this month was described by coach Ron Rivera as "in the vein of a Michael Tolbert," isn't hanging out with the group just yet.

If he proves he can play, a multi-dimensional fullback like Johnson can help the Panthers plan for life after Tolbert. But the 30-year-old isn't in a rush to start that life.

"Any guy that comes into my running back room, I look at as competition," said Tolbert, who signed a new two-year, $3.3 million deal in March. "I look at Jonathan Stewart as competition, but we’re best friends and we're like brothers. But at the end of the day, we’ve all got to make our own paycheck.”

Like Johnson, Tolbert went undrafted. Since then, he's turned his disappointment from the spring of 2008 into three nice paychecks. With the NFL continuing to trend toward pass-happy offenses, most assume fullbacks are a dying breed. But that's what makes Tolbert's role as a hybrid valuable.

"You've got to be able to do more than just block out of the I-formation. I think that's what benefits me," the 5-foot-9, 250-pounder said.

"There's not many guys that can do what I do that aren’t tight ends. If you’re a tight end and you’re 6-5, 260, you can block, you can catch the ball. But can you run routes? Can you block out of the backfield? Can you play special teams? That’s something that I do. I do everything."
