Professional career
Vincent was drafted by the Miami Dolphins out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison with the seventh pick in the 1992 NFL Draft's first round. He stepped right into the Dolphins' starting left corner and helped the Dolphins win the AFC Championship Game for the first time in his rookie year. During his time in Miami, he intercepted 14 passes and was one of the team's top tackles.
In 1996, Vincent signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he spent eight seasons. From 1999 to 2003, Vincent has won five straight Pro Bowls. Vincent was the winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2002. In 2007, Vincent was named to the Philadelphia Eagles' 75th Anniversary Team. In the 2011 NFL Draft, Vincent revealed the Philadelphia Eagles 2nd Draft Pick.
Vincent holds the record for the longest interception against the Dallas Cowboys in 1996; after teammate James Willis intercepted Troy Aikman four yards into the endzone, he ran 14 yards before lateralizing to Vincent, who returned the interception 90 yards for a 104-yard touchdown.
With the departure of cornerback Antoine Winfield prior to the 2004 NFL season, Vincent signed a free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills. Vincent went from the cornerback position, where he had worked all his life, to free safety during his time in Buffalo. He had 66 tackles and a team-high four interceptions in his first season as full-time safety in 2005.
During the team's 2006 season opener, Vincent and starting strong safety Matt Bowen sustained injuries. The Bills put him on injured reserve on September 10 in order to clear a roster spot, although he was set to miss up to two months. Vincent was released on October 13 after being cleared to play.
Vincent joined the Washington Redskins on October 16, extending his three-year deal.
Vincent threw down six tackles against the Dallas Cowboys on November 5, 2006, and had a crucial block on a 35-yard field goal try by kicker Mike Vanderjagt as time expired. The Redskins were able to return the ball to field goal range for kicker Nick Novak and win the game 22–19 with no time thanks to the block and a 15-yard facemask penalty. The improbable victory is regarded as the "Hand of God" game. Vincent was released by the Redskins on February 22, 2007.
Vincent was named recipient of the Ford-Kinnick Leadership Award on November 22, 2017, according to the Big Ten Conference. The annual award honors Big Ten football student-athletes who have achieved a lot of success in leadership positions after their academic and athletic careers.
Vincent was recognized by Ebony Magazine at their February 4, 2017 Celebration of Champions Super Bowl event, where he received the Ebony Pathfinder Award.
