After battling a tremendous amount of personal adversity early in life, Jon Dorenbos has worked hard and stayed focused enough to carve out a successful career as a NFL long snapper and was named to his first Pro Bowl following the 2009 season. Originally signed by the Eagles in the latter half of the 2006 season, Dorenbos has played in every game for the Eagles since then (including playoffs) and inked a five-year contract extension that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2012. Dorenbos, who endured the murder of his mother by his father at a young age, took up magic to help ease his mind throughout the tough times. Dorenbos, in fact, has become so good at his craft that he has been hired for shows in Hollywood and Las Vegas.
