Kyle Chandler Arrington Sr. (born August 12, 1986) is an American former professional football player who was a cornerback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Hofstra Pride. Arrington was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in 2008. He was also a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens. He played in two Super Bowls during his time with the Patriots, winning Super Bowl XLIX.
Arrington was born in Accokeek, Maryland. He attended Gwynn Park High School in Prince George's County, Maryland, where he played football as a defensive back and kick returner, as well as basketball and track and field.
