Phil Costa (born July 11, 1987) is a former American football center and guard in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at the University of Maryland.
Costa played high school football at Holy Cross High School, where he was a starting guard who played in every game during his three seasons on the team.
He accepted a scholarship from the University of Maryland, where he was a two-year starter, playing mostly guard until his senior season when he started at center.
Costa was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent after the 2010 NFL Draft. He began as the fourth string center, with Kyle Kosier and Travis Bright ahead of him, but when Kosier got hurt and Bright struggled, Costa became the primary backup. He impressed the coaching staff and made the opening day 53-man roster. As a rookie, he earned his first career start at left guard in place of the injured Kyle Kosier and Montrae Holland, in the seventh game of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
