265. Troy Vincent

A defensive superstar from the University of Wisconsin, the Miami Dolphins drafted Troy Vincent 7th Overall in 1992.  Vincent immediately became the starting Left Cornerback and played well for Miami over his four seasons there.  That was a good start, but it was later as a Philadelphia Eagle that he shined.  

With Philadelphia, Vincent earned five straight Pro Bowl selections (1999-03) and was a First Team All-Pro in 2002.  That year he was also named the Walter Payton Man of the Year, a testament to the character he showed on and off the field.  Vincent would finish his career with 47 Interceptions.
