It’s an obvious (and corny) pun, but finding a long snapper has been a dilemma for the Saints this offseason.
The team has gone through several since last season ended – the partial list includes Thomas Gafford, Chase Dominguez and last season’s long snapper, Justin Drescher – before New Orleans on Monday night made a trade with the Eagles to acquire Jon Dorenbos, who has a parallel career as a magician.
Dorenbos was a finalist on season 11 of the television show "America's Got Talent," performing his magic acts. He finished in third place for the season.
