Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos wows in ‘America’s Got Talent’ audition

Jon Dorenbos has carved out a nice 14-year career as a long snapper in the National Football League.

He appears to have his post-football life all set, although it’s not exactly what most would expect.

Dorenbos is a comic magician and he tried out for “America’s Got Talent” on NBC this week.

The Philadelphia Eagles veteran wowed the judging panel of Howie Mandel, Mel B., Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell, earning a trip to the next round of competition — a claim the Eagles haven’t been able to make since the 2008 postseason (sorry, we couldn’t resist.)
