Troy Hambrick (born November 6, 1976) is a former American football running back in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. He played college football at Savannah State University.
Hambrick and his brother Darren helped Pasco High School win the 1992 Class 3A state championship in football. He began his collegiate career at the University of South Carolina in 1996 and was the Gamecocks' leading rusher in 1997 and 1998. However, off the field issues led to his dismissal by then newly hired Lou Holtz before the start of the 1999 season.
He transferred to Savannah State University in Savannah, Georgia for his senior season where he became a starter and ran for 1,261 yards and 18 touchdowns. He finished with school records for most rushing yards-game (181), most rushing touchdowns-game (4), most rushing touchdowns-season (18), most yards per carry-season (6.5), most points-season (116) and most total touchdowns-season (19).
Hambrick was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2000. He was the backup behind Emmitt Smith and played some fullback also, which allowed him to flash the potential to become a starter. In 2001 he had 579 yards with a 5.1 average per carry, good for third place in the NFL. In 2002 his numbers decreased, but still excelled in special teams finishing second on the team with 17 tackles.
