As player

Douglas Irving Pederson (born January 31, 1968) is a former American football player who is the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He previously served as the offensive coordinator of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs. During his playing career as a quarterback, he spent most of his career as a member of the Green Bay Packers, serving as a backup to Brett Favre, winning Super Bowl XXXI with the team over the New England Patriots. He was also a member of the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and Philadelphia Eagles.

Pederson attended Ferndale High School in Ferndale, Washington, and was an All-State selection in football, basketball, and baseball. Following high school he attended Northeast Louisiana University where he was quarterback from 1987 through 1990. He still holds multiple passing records at the school.

Pederson originally signed as a rookie free agent by the Miami Dolphins in 1991 out of the Northeast Louisiana University (Now University of Louisiana at Monroe) in Monroe, Louisiana. For several years, Pederson bounced on and off of the Dolphins' roster, spending time on their practice squad before settling onto their roster in 1993. He also helped Don Shula win his NFL record 325th victory as a coach when starting quarterback Scott Mitchell went down with an injury in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles on November 14, 1993. In 1992, Pederson played for the New York/New Jersey Knights of the World League of American Football.
