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 attended Garfield Heights High School, where he practiced basketball and football.
He accepted a scholarship to the University of Notre Dame and was named the starter at right tackle in his junior and senior seasons. In his last year, he received the team's Outstanding Offensive player and honorable mention All-American honors.
Pozderac was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 5th round (137th overall) of the 1982 NFL Draft and tied Ed "Too Tall" Jones as the NFL's tallest players (both Jones and Pozderac were 6'9".)
In 1984 after the retirement of Pat Donovan, he beat former first round selection Howard Richards for the starting left tackle job (7 starts), before being moved to the right tackle position, when Jim Cooper missed half of the season after being injured on a bizarre accident, when he slipped while rising from a table at a night club, while watching Monday Night Football.
