He’s our emergency long snapper now. It used to be Hutch and then Anzalone, now its Zylstra. Didn’t realize what a pressure position that is.
I thought Zylstra was a blue pill…

With all the west-siders here, I’m surprised nobody has mentioned that it’s a 3-syllable name that sounds like Zeye-ill-struh.
I will still pronounce it as Pillstra, because I refuse to live trampled under the little wooden boots of the Dutch.
