Anthony Cioffi (born August 26, 1994) is an American football Defensive_back. He was signed by the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He played college football for Rutgers University, where he was a 4-year starter, as a cornerback his freshman and sophomore years, as a free safety his junior year, and as a strong safety in his senior season.

Known for his exceptional speed, Sports Illustrated noted in an April 2017 feature that "...Cioffi and BYU’s Micah Hannemann were the only white corners to start for a BCS school recently. Cioffi had earned his way into that coveted corner spot after a stellar high school career in Springfield, N.J., where his family runs a popular deli established 60 years ago by Anthony’s Italian immigrant grandparents, and by winning the 2012 state title in the 100 meters with a time of 10.86. In the spirit of Italian sprinter Piettro Mennea, who in 1979 broke the world 200 record by running it in 19.72 (still the best time by a nonblack athlete), Cioffi defeated the favorite in that state title race, Anthony Averett, who now starts at cornerback for Alabama."
