Troy Darnell Vincent (born June 8, 1970 in Trenton, New Jersey) is a former cornerback and safety in the National Football League. He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the 1992 NFL Draft out of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He has since played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, and the Washington Redskins.

NFL career

Miami Dolphins

He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison with the seventh pick in the first round of the 1992 NFL Draft. Since ESPN began televised coverage of the NFL draft, Vincent is the only first round pick that was missed on live television. After returning from a commercial break, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue was informed that the network was still at break, returned to the podium and repeated the selection of Vincent to Miami.

Philadelphia Eagles

He spent four seasons with the Dolphins. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1996, and he spent eight more seasons. Vincent made five consecutive Pro Bowls from 1999 to 2003. In 2002 Vincent was the recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.

Buffalo Bills

Prior to the 2004 NFL season, Vincent signed a free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills with the departure of cornerback Antoine Winfield. Vincent played one year as a cornerback, which he had played all his career, but most recently played free safety when he had a knee injury and was replaced by Terrence McGee. He has 47 interceptions, the second most interceptions for an active NFL player behind Ty Law.

Washington Redskins

Vincent was slated to miss the 2006 season after suffering a hamstring injury and being placed on injured reserve September 13, but the Bills released Vincent on October 12, allowing him to seek offers from other teams and was signed on October 16 by the Washington Redskins. Vincent had perhaps the greatest game of his Washington career on November 5, 2006, against rival Dallas Cowboys, recording six tackles and a crucial blocked 35-yard field goal attempt by kicker Mike Vanderjagt as time expired. The block, along with a 15-yard facemask penalty, allowed the Redskins to return the ball into field goal range for kicker Nick Novak and win the game 22-19 with no time remaining (the "Hand of God" game). On February 22, 2007, the Redskins released Troy Vincent.

President of the NFLPA

Vincent recently moved to Purcellville, Virginia, and was president of the NFL Players Association. Vincent's term as President of the NFLPA expired on March 18, 2008 and he was replaced by Kevin Mawae.

ULYFL

Troy Vincent is currently the head coach of the ULYFL Bandits in Purcellville's football league.
