Robert Golden (born September 13, 1990) is an American football strong safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He was signed by the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He played college football at Arizona. He was named a special teams co-captain along with Shaun Suisham for the 2014 season.
He attended Edison High School in Fresno, California. He was named to the Tacoma News Tribune Western 100. He was selected to the 2007 PrepStar Dream Team. He was selected to the Second-team all-state by CalHiSports and was named to the All-Valley first-team. He was selected to the MaxPreps Division II All-State first team. He participated in the U.S. Army All-American game.
Coming out of Edison as a 4-star recruit, Golden received multiple offers including UCLA, USC, Oregon State, and Oregon. He decided to begin attending Arizona in 2008. Golden began his first two seasons as a cornerback and was thought to be the heir-apparent to Antoine Cason. Following his sophomore season though, head coach Mike Stoops switched Golden to strong safety.
Golden entered the 2012 NFL Draft after graduating from Arizona. Although he attended the NFL combine and worked out at Arizona's Pro Day, he went undrafted.
