Early years

He had a few scholarship offers in his senior year at Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, Maryland, but he didn't have the grades that were good enough to attend college. He was working at a local JC Penney's and playing semi-pro football in the Washington, DC-Virginia-Maryland area for the DC Explosion (NAFL), when he was noticed by a coach who worked at Saint Paul's College, Virginia. [3] Toler was eventually awarded a scholarship at Saint Paul's College. Toler made the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) All-Conference team as a junior and senior.

Professional career

Arizona Cardinals

[4] He was selected in the fourth round, 131st overall, by the Cardinals, as the first and last St. Paul's Tiger selected in an NFL Draft. [5] He missed the entire 2011 season due to a torn ACL.

Indianapolis Colts

Toler signed with the Indianapolis Colts on March 12, 2013. [6] Toler was placed on injured reserve on January 6, 2014, after suffering a groin injury during the Colts 45–44 Wild Card win over the Kansas City Chiefs. [7]
