Robert Matheson (November 25, 1944 – September 5, 1994) was anAmerican football linebacker who played 13 seasons in theNational Football League (NFL). He played in threeSuper Bowls for theMiami Dolphins, including their 1972 and 1973 championships.

A linebacker atDuke University, he was drafted in 1967 by theCleveland Browns in the first round of the NFL Draft, was the first year of the common draft between the AFL and NFL. He was then acquired by the Dolphins prior to the 1971 season, after Miami defensive coordinatorBill Arnsparger requested head coachDon Shula to do so. Miami gave up their second round draft pick in 1972 in exchange.^[1] Matheson went to Miami one year after the Dolphins acquiredPaul Warfield from Cleveland.

Matheson was often used by the Dolphins as a fourth linebacker in passing situations. This defensive alignment was often referred to as the "53" defense, named for Matheson's No. 53 jersey. This is also referred to as a3–4 defense, with three linemen and four linebackers.^{[citation needed]}

After leaving the Dolphins in 1979, Matheson returned to Duke as an assistant coach. He later coached special teams and linebackers for five years with the Miami Dolphins. He then joined Duke alumniJohn Gutekunst as an assistant coach at theUniversity of Minnesota. In 1993, he returned to Duke to work at its Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Matheson died on September 5, 1994, atDuke University Hospital from complications ofHodgkin's disease, which he had had for 13 years.^[2]
