Timeline

2014

After spending 2013 out of the NFL, Tollefson announced his retirement on February 14, 2014.

2007

Tollefson played with the NFL Europa team Berlin Thunder under a futures contract he signed with the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders signed Dave Tollefson from the Packers practice squad before the 2007 NFL season, but he was waived by the Raiders during the final round of cuts. The Raiders allocated Tollefson to the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europa. Tollefson enjoyed good success for the Galaxy, recording 4.5 sacks, 25 tackles and 5 passes defensed.

The New York Giants signed Tollefson from the Raiders practice squad on October 2, 2007; he played the final six games of the regular season for the Giants, recording 4 tackles. Tollefson was also activated for all four of the Giants postseason games, and during the NFC Divisional Playoff against the Dallas Cowboys he recorded 2 assisted tackles and a QB hurry. He also played in Super Bowl XLII. He was inactive for the first two games of the 2008 season for the Giants, but during the next two games he recorded the first two sacks of his NFL career. He ended the season with 19 tackles and 3.5 sacks. After the 2010 season, he became an unrestricted free agent. However, he was re-signed on August 5, 2011. On September 11, 2011, Tollefson started his season with the Giants in place of Justin Tuck against the Washington Redskins, recording two tackles and a sack. His sack dance is composed of an intentionally comical round-house spin kick (a homage to Patrick Swayze's role in Road House). He made a career-high five sacks during the 2011 season.

2006

The Green Bay Packers drafted Tollefson as their last pick of the 2006 NFL draft. He failed to make the final 53 man roster; however, he was added to the Packers practice squad. Tollefson spent the whole 2006 NFL season as a member of the practice squad.

2005

At Northwest he was coached by Mel Tjeerdsma who took the Bearcats to five consecutive NCAA Division II Football Championship title games between 2005 and 2009. During his years the team went to the quarterfinals in 2004 and the finals in 2005. In 2011, he personally paid for the Northwest jerseys at the request of Scott Bostwick who as defensive coordinator had brought him to Northwest. Bostwick had succeeded Tjeerdsma in 2011 but died of a heart attack before the start of the 2011 season. His wife is Megan (née Stalder), a former Northwest softball player.

2004

In the 2004 season, he was an All-MIAA second-team choice in his first year at Northwest Missouri. He started twelve games at right defensive end and recorded 48 tackles (19 solos) with 8.5 sacks and 13 stops for losses. He also caused and recovered a fumble and had a pair of pass deflections. In 2005, as a senior, he started fourteen games at right defensive end, recording 58 tackles (38 solos) with a team-high 16.5 stops for losses and five quarterback pressures. He set a school single-season record, and ranked 13th in the nation, with 12.5 sacks, caused a fumble, blocked a kick, and deflected four passes. As a result, he was named First-team All-Mid–America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, was the league's Defensive MVP, was named to the All-Southwest Region team, and earned College-division All-American First-team honors from the American Football Coaches Association. He was also a finalist for the Gene Upshaw Award, given to the best lineman in the small college ranks.

1999

Dave Tollefson played outside linebacker at Los Medanos College in 1999 and 2000, and Fresno State University awarded Tollefson an athletic scholarship for defensive end. However, he suffered a series of injuries that made him miss three seasons. He missed the 2001 season due to right shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum. Then, he spent the 2002 season working at Home Depot, undergoing surgery on his right shoulder to clean up debris. In 2003, he enrolled at Northwest Missouri, but did not play; he was granted a medical hardship after suffering a broken bone in his right foot in August camp. He said that the summer before entering Northwest Missouri, he worked as a carpenter.
