Eagles Long Snapper Jon Dorenbos to Appear on 'America's Got Talent'

When he's not on the football field, Jon Dorenbos is a magician.

The Philadelphia Eagles long snapper has toured the country performing and sharing the joy of magic with his slight-of-hand tricks.

Now he'll take those talents to the small screen. According to Molly Eichel of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Dorenbos will appear on an upcoming episode of America's Got Talent.

Update from Wednesday, June 22

Dorenbos got his chance to show off his hidden talent on America's Got Talent, and he put on quite a show for the judges:

Whenever his time in the "Not For Long" league is up, he always has another field he can dabble in.

The two-time Pro Bowler discovered magic on the heels of a childhood tragedy. In an appearance on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel in 2014, Dorenbos explained a friend introduced him to magic after his father was convicted of killing his mother.

"It was something that, at the darkest time of my life, was genuinely fun for me," Dorenbos told Gumbel. "It saved me, man. It really did."
