Ashton Youboty (July 7, 1984 in Houston, Texas) is a current American football cornerback for the Buffalo Bills. He was selected in the third round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Many draft experts had Youboty projected as a late first to early second round draft pick. Youboty played college football at Ohio State University. Chris Berman has already nicknamed this player Ashton "Shake Your Boty". The Buffalo Bills have high hopes for Youboty, who missed the majority of the 2006 season with family issues (see below). With the departure of starting CB Nate Clements imminent, many experts believe that Youboty will start alongside Terrence McGee during the 2007 season.

His family immigrated to the United States in the early 1990s and settled in Philadelphia. However, they later relocated to Texas when he was in middle school. Ashton lived in Spring, Texas, a suburb of Houston. There he played cornerback and punt returner at Klein High School.

Youboty was born in Monrovia, Liberia. The oldest of 4 kids, he has one sister and two brothers. His mother died in August 2006.
