Ryan Kenneth Yarborough (born April 26, 1971) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the New York Jets in the second round (41st overall) of the 1994 NFL Draft.[1] Yarbourough played college football for the Wyoming Cowboys and was one of the most prolific receivers in college football history.

A two-time first-team All-American, he held the NCAA record for career games with a touchdown reception with 27—since broken by Jarett Dillard. He finished his career at Wyoming with 229 receptions for 4,357 yards and 42 touchdowns.

Yarborough's success at the college level did not carry on to the National Football League (NFL). His NFL career lasted only a few years with the Jets and Baltimore Ravens. He also saw action in 2001 for the XFL's Chicago Enforcers.
