Kyle Arrington
NFL Superbowl Champion, Community Leader, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, and Author
If there are two words that best align with Super Bowl Champion Kyle Arrington, they are "family and community". Being an undrafted free agent from the University of Hofstra, Kyle surpassed all odds, by remaining committed to his conviction and drive, which earned him a starting position in the National Football League (NFL).
Kyle exudes a magnetic and infectious drive in striving to become the best version of himself. From meek beginnings, playing All-County 2004 for Gwynn Park High School, attending Hoffstra University as a student athlete from 2004 - 2008, and an undrafted free agent, Kyle took every challenge he faced throughout his career head on. Relying squarely on the solid foundation and values instilled in him, Kyle relied on his undeniable work ethic, accountability, resiliency, and mental fortitude, among others. What once started as a shot in the dark, turned into a storied professional football career expanding a decade.
Kyle’s 2008 - 2017 professional football career led him to participate in two Super Bowls. The first was in 2012 at Super Bowl XLVI (46) and in 2015 at Super Bowl XLIX (49) where he earned his first Super Bowl ring and win with the New England Patriots. He was an integral part of his team's success throughout his tenure playing at the highest level. Kyle also led his team in individual stat categories as well as becoming an NFL Interception Leader in 2011. Being raised and influenced by great parents to amazing teachers and a supportive community, Kyle has always been aware that it takes a village to raise a child. To give back and make a positive impact has been his mission on and off the field. Since retiring from the NFL in 2017, Kyle's purpose has been to pay that original investment forward and continue to be an example to our current generation, those emerging and yet to come.
It’s Kyle’s life philosophy that led him to put words into action by starting his nonprofit, The E.V.O.L.V.E Foundation in 2019. The Foundation has succeeded in implementing programs such as the Reading and Running Initiative for Elementary Aged students, teaching the importance of literacy, fitness, and unity. And his Free Youth Football Camp that just celebrated its 8th year and has supported over 2,000 kids to date. He's never lost his passion to help people. With an already commendable resume, Kyle has added the title "author" to his list of achievements. His first book entitled "Piece It Together!" is a children's book that motivates kids to work collectively and teaches them about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, also known as "STEM". This past May Kyle’s book was featured at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France.
Kyle's drive to make lives better has also extended to his most recent entrepreneurial endeavor. "American Fitness"- a fitness brand providing individuals and communities alike with the tools and knowledge needed to become the best version of themselves. Currently, Kyle is a weekly FOX 5 DC contributor where he shares football insights and commentaries.
Kyle believes that the pursuit of greatness is a team effort. He believes that there is no journey, no pursuit, and no success without our community.
