Something else in common with Jon Dorenbos

Related Topics: Jon Dorenbos, aortic aneurysm

Jon Dorenbos and I have something in common besides the fact that we’re both good-looking guys who are married to stunningly beautiful women.

Both of us also have aortic aneurysms.

Jon’s is quite a bit more serious than mine. The former Eagles long-snapper, who was traded to the New Orleans Saints on August 28, needs surgery to repair the damage to his aorta.

Saints officials say that if doctors hadn’t discovered the aneurysm and he had played in the team’s season-opener Monday night against the Vikings, he very likely could have died.

Dorenbos, 37, who spent 11 seasons with the Eagles, has almost certainly played his last football game.
