Anthony Cioffi (born August 26, 1994) is an American football safety for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Rutgers University, where he was a four-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.[1] He was signed by the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2017.[2]

Early years

Anthony’s parents, Jerry and Josephine Cioffi own a small deli in his small town of Springfield, NJ. His mother teaches Italian at Florence M. Gaudineer Middle School while his father runs his deli, Cioffi’s Deli and Pizza. 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, New Jersey and by winning the 2012 Group 1 state title in the 100 meters with a time of 10.86. Cioffi defeated the favorite in that state title race, Anthony Averett, who is now a cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens."[3]
