This past year has been a tough one for former Philadelphia Eagles long snapper, Jon Dorenbos. After he was traded away from the team that he spent ten years with, he was ready for a new journey with the New Orleans Saints. Although nobody in Philly was particularly happy with the move, it was the best thing that could happen for Dorenbos.
He would never actually play for the Saints in 2017. During his physical, Dorenbos found out that he had an aortic aneurysm and would have to get open-heart surgery. Dorenbos ended up hanging up his cleats after spending 14 years in the NFL as a long snapper.
