Armstead attended David W. Carter High School in Dallas, Texas, where he was coached by Freddie James. Armstead was part of a highly talented team that featured four other future NFL players — Clifton Abraham, Joe Burch, Le'Shai Maston, Darius Smith — and won the 1988 5A state championship (stripped by UIL in 1991), defeating Permian High School in the state semi-final game, which was portrayed as the state championship game in the 2004 film Friday Night Lights and the 2017 ESPN 30 for 30 documentary "What Carter Lost." The title was later forfeited due to eligibility infringements.

Armstead was interviewed about his time at the University of Miami for the documentary The U, which premiered December 12, 2009 on ESPN.

On September 8, 2008, Armstead was hired by the Giants as a "special assistant / consultant." His responsibilities include special projects, defensive assignments, player development and free agent recruiting. In 2010, he was inducted into the New York Giants Ring of Honor. He also has a Super Bowl ring from their Super Bowl XLII win.

In February 2008, Armstead was featured as one of the pros on Pros vs Joes on Spike TV.

On June 13, 2007, Armstead signed a one-day contract with the New York Giants to officially retire a New York Giant.

He signed with the Carolina Panthers for the 2004 season, but he retired that year following a pre-season injury.

Armstead was a five-time Pro Bowler, elected between 1997 and 2001. Armstead had 752 career tackles with forty sacks and 12 interceptions for 175 yards.

Fellow D-I recruits Derric Evans and Gary Edwards asked Armstead to join them and others in a series of robberies of video stores and fast-food restaurants, but he refused. In September 1989, Evans and Edwards were sentenced to 20 years and 16 years, respectively, in prison.

A college standout on 2 of Miami's 5 national championship teams (1989, 1991), Armstead's pro prospects were diminished after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament his sophomore season. As a result, he was not drafted until the eighth round of the 1993 NFL Draft, when he was selected by the New York Giants.
