Another Bills Story: Jon Dorenbos
Don Banks is two-for-two today. He's got another recent article that is all about the Bills' long-snapping prospect, Jon Dorenbos:
A collegiate free agent from the University of Texas-El Paso, he has so far made a solid impression at the Bills' St. John Fisher College camp site in suburban Rochester. Unlike most undrafted players, he has a legitimate chance to make the team.
But that's not why folks in Bills' camp can't stop talking about the friendly and engaging 23-year-old, who grew up in Garden Grove, Calif. Truth be told, it's Dorenbos' life beyond football that inspires all the attention.
Dorenbos is an accomplished professional magician, one who has earned up to $1,000 an hour performing in both Las Vegas and Hollywood. His sleight of hand skills are breathtaking, and have already earned him a place of respect and admiration in the Buffalo locker room. He has performed at team parties and functions in the past three months, dazzling his teammates with an array of mind-boggling tricks and illusions.
A very interesting article. I suggest a read. If he makes the team, it'll be interesting to see what kind of tricks he might pull on an unsuspecting sideline reporter. ;)
