Jon Dorenbos Talks 'America's Got Talent' And His Love For Doug Pederson

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia Eagles long snapper Jon Dorenbos is headed to the finals of America's Got Talent! 

Dorenbos tells SportsRadio WIP that "it's matter of my strengths and weaknesses compared to the other contestants. I gotta find material that brings that out, so the more I can involve the judges and interact, I think that's a strength."

But back to football.

Following Thursday's night final preseason game against the New York Jets, Dorenbos says Doug Perderson is "a players coach."

"One he played and now he's a coach. He understands how to be a player. There's certain ways to handle certain people. People get ready for games differently, and work out differently, it's about finding what you need to get ready, and Doug gives you the freedom to get ready to play. He handles you as an adult. I love Coach Pederson."
