Philip Maurice Pozderac (born December 19, 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio) is a former American football offensive lineman who played six seasons in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the University of Notre Dame.
Pozderac played with the Dallas Cowboys as starting offensive lineman under Tom Landry. He retired during the 1987 NFL player's strike. It should also be noted that he became notorious for being called for holding and false start penalties. A standing joke in Dallas would be to list Pozderac's 5 best plays with the answer being - #1 Holding, #1 Holding, #3 Holding, #4 Holding, #5 False start.
Since then he has served as the NFL Player Association Dallas Chapter Chief Financial officer, Director of Sales for SC&T International, VP of Sales for Nextlink, and CEO of both MedPact and MPACT, two forward thinking technology companies in the digital communication industry. Phil has worked with the Fellows Research Group to aid research regarding the viability of thermo-acoustic devices for low temperature electric energy generation. During this time Phil was also introduced to the building industry with ownership in a manufactured housing plant in Laredo Texas and a sawmill in Oklahoma which he oversaw the operations of both. As of 2013, Phil is the Operations Director at the Mulligan Mint, a private minting facility in Dallas, Texas, named after Ayn Rand's fictional mint in her novel Atlas Shrugged.
Pozderac has made numerous charitable contributions throughout his professional life which have included NFLPA home building and charitable basketball, golf, and softball games benefiting several worthy causes. Pozderac is also a member since 1988 of the Knights of Columbus, 4th Degree. He also currently hosts POZitively Unconstitutional, a talk radio show on the Republic Broadcasting Network.
