Magician Jon Dorenbos, who finished third on this season of "America's Got Talent," chats with fans while working his day job as long-snapper for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Will longtime Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos ever win a Super Bowl with the team? It's hard to say.

Does he have a future in television? That's almost a lock.

Dorenbos made headlines this past season for his side career as a professional magician, coming in third place on the television show "America's Got Talent." His performance on the show led to an appearance on "The Ellen Show," and host Ellen DeGeneres apparently liked him so much that she had Dorenbos head to Super Bowl LI in Houston as a correspondent along with the show's executive producer, Andy.
