For Years, Doug Pederson Had to Miss Most of His Son’s Games. Now He’s ‘Being a Dad’ Full-Time Watching Him Play in the UFL.

Doug Pederson, former Eagles coach, has spent most of 2025 supporting his son Josh, who plays tight end for the Houston Roughnecks in the United Football League.
After parting ways with the Jaguars early in 2023, Pederson took some time to step back before embracing fatherhood and attending spring league games.
Josh signed with the Roughnecks in February 2025 following his time with the Houston Gamblers and a brief Jaguars stint, making his NFL debut in December 2023.
Josh called playing in the UFL a “dream come true” and credited his father for coaching advice despite encouraging Pederson to treat him like any other player.
Pederson views attending Roughnecks games as full circle, using newfound freedom to support Josh and pay forward all the support he once received during his own NFL career.
