Troy Barnett

Troy Anthony Barnett (born May 24, 1971) is a former American football defensive lineman who played for the New England Patriots and Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of North Carolina.

Barnett was initially signed by the Patriots as a free agent in April 1994 when he was working at McDonald's. In a game against the Chicago Bears in October 1994, Barnett blocked a field goal attempt to help secure the Patriots 6–3 victory in what teammate Mike Pitts called "probably the biggest play of the season right there."

After starting 15 games for the Patriots in 1995, Barnett was waived before the start of the 1996 season. He was resigned by the Patriots in November but he only played 1 game for the Patriots in 1996 before being waived again. He was then signed by the Redskins and played 3 games for the Redskins.

Barnett was signed during the 1997 offseason but was waived before the regular season began.
