Christopher Douglas Matthews (born October 6, 1989) is an American football wide receiver who is currently a free agent. He played college football for Los Angeles Harbor College and the University of Kentucky.
Matthews was undrafted out of college in 2011, and signed with the Cleveland Browns. The Browns cut Matthews, and he played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, winning the CFL's Most Outstanding Rookie Award in his first season, but was limited by injuries in his second year. Released by Winnipeg to allow Matthews to pursue an NFL career, Matthews received an offer to try out with the Seattle Seahawks. During the 2014–15 NFL playoffs, Matthews recovered an onside kick during the National Football Conference Championship Game, and made his first career receptions in Super Bowl XLIX. He also played for the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena Football League (AFL).
Matthews attended Susan Miller Dorsey High School in Los Angeles, California, and played American football for the school's team as a tight end and as a defensive end. He intended to enroll at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to play college football for the UCLA Bruins football team, but was academically ineligible to play for a school in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He enrolled at Los Angeles Harbor College (LAHC), a junior college, to play football. At LAHC, Matthews became a wide receiver. During his sophomore season, Matthews caught 80 passes for 1,235 yards and 11 touchdowns in nine games.
