Robert Paul Gould III, commonly known as Robbie Gould, is an American former professional football player renowned for his exceptional prowess as a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL). Born on December 6, 1982, in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, Gould's athletic inclinations were evident from an early age, courtesy of his father, Robert Gould, a three-time All-American soccer player.
Gould attended Central Mountain High School in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania, where he excelled in multiple sports, earning letters in football, soccer, basketball, and track.

Gould enrolled at Penn State, where he played for the Nittany Lions football team and earned a degree in business management.
After going undrafted in the 2005 NFL draft, Gould was signed as a free agent by the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots prior to the 2005 NFL preseason. However, he was released before the start of the regular season and subsequently signed with the Chicago Bears, where he spent 11 seasons (2005-2015).
Gould's remarkable career was built on his unwavering commitment to perfection, discipline, and consistency. He once stated, "I think the biggest thing is just being consistent and not really getting too high or too low." This philosophical approach enabled him to maintain an extraordinary level of performance throughout his career.
Gould married his high school sweetheart, Lauren, in 2007, and the couple has two sons, Griffin and Luke. He is also involved in various charitable initiatives, including the Robbie Gould Family Foundation, which focuses on supporting children's charities and educational programs.
Gould's success on the field has inspired countless young athletes, and his dedication to his craft has set a high standard for placekickers in the NFL. His philanthropic efforts have also made a significant impact on his community, showcasing the importance of giving back to society.
