Troy Darnell Vincent (born June 8, 1970 in Trenton, New Jersey) is a former Defensive Back for the Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Dolphins with the 7th overall pick in the 1992 NFL Draft. He played college football at Wisconsin. Mr. Vincent is currently the Vice President of the Organization,a position he was named to in February 2010. In his current role his mission is to enable players to be better citizens, and lifelong learners while pursuing continuous improvement in family relations, social interactions, personal growth and career development. His efforts were cited in the following Boston Globe article NFL. In a recent column by AOL's Thomas George titled Now Mr. Vincent spoke to the challenges and the opportunity to serve the NFL active players on and off the field.

Vincent was a major player in the Eagles’ dominant defense of the late ‘90s, and is recognized as such in the Sports Illustrated article 00-49. Troy is also considered one of the greatest leaders in the history of the NFL. He was the president of the NFLPA, the Sporting News's #1 Good Guy in 2003, a Team Captain the last 13 seasons of his 15 year career, and countless other positions and honors as noted in the Bleacher Report Time.

One of the major challenges facing NFL players is money management. The statistics are staggering. According to a Sports Illustrated report published in 2009, 78% of NFL players will become bankrupt, divorced or unemployed within two years of retirement. Contributing to a recent USA Today Article class Troy Vincent and others warned that money management strategies, transposed over a vague career timeline, should not be underestimated in the transition.
