Podcast appearances and mentions of brandon zylstra

Finding one's way to the glory of the gridiron can take windy paths, and for those NFL bubble players looking to make it, there are no easy roads. The pathway is no more glamourous for fledgling sports agents trying to make it to the big show. This discussion comes when the NFL landscape is veering towards a more transparent ethos, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes toil that propels the game forward. And how high are the stakes? Only 1.6% of college football players make it to the NFL. The narrative explores the intricate dance between the underdog players striving for a foothold in the league and the burgeoning agents determined to carve a niche in the high-stakes domain of player representation.What does it entail for a Division III football player and a developing agent to navigate the rigorous journey toward NFL acclaim? This uncharted narrative mirrors the relentless ambition and camaraderie that fuels the NFL's unsung heroes.In the latest episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, host Adam Morrisey sits down with former NFL player Brandon Zylstra and NFL Player Agent Jaymeson Moten of VaynerSports, peeking into the unseen lives and uphill battles of NFL bubble players and their agents. Morrisey, Zylstra, and Moten's conversation traverse the terrains of ambition, mentorship, and gritty resolve, including the following:• Zylstra's journey from a Division III football player to breaking records in the CFL before landing NFL contracts epitomizing the sheer grit and relentless ambition inherent in bubble players• Moton's transition from a basketball enthusiast to an NFL agent and his eventual partnership with childhood friend Zylstra• The systemic barriers within the NFL and the player representation sphere• Industrial-essential and motivational reads from Crunching Numbers: An Inside Look At The Salary Cap And Negotiating Player Contracts to The AlchemistJaymeson Moten, a zealous sports enthusiast turned NFL agent, is a shining exemplar of relentless ambition converging with opportunity. Holding a certification from the NFLPA, Moten's journey began alongside his childhood friend, Zylstra, nurturing a dream that would eventually morph into a professional alliance. Zylstra is a former NFL special teams player with the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers.

Brandon Zylstra knows how tough it is to achieve your dream when there are obstacles in the way. Zylstra went to a Division III college, paid his way through school, went to the Canadian Football League and is now entering his fourth year in the NFL as a wide receiver and special teams player — the third with the Panthers. But he’s the first to admit that he doesn’t know what it’s like to experience racism. That’s part of the reason he had conversations with his friends and teammates who were Black. And it’s why he’s establishing a scholarship to help Black students who aspire to go to college and have faced adversity. “I didn’t know racism was as prevalent as it actually is until social media became more popular and people started sharing videos and documenting everything,” Zylstra said. Zylstra, who is from Spicer, Minnesota — less than two hours from Minneapolis — said he was moved to help after seeing the video of George Floyd’s murder and the reaction across the country. “It just hit close to home,” he said, adding that he started having conversations with his friends. Through those conversations, he learned more about their stories and how they experienced racism. He wanted to help. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode of No Brains No Headache Podcast is brought to you by Kong Beer Bong, Make The Good Times Better. Order yours today [ https://kongbeerbong.com?aff=200 ] Episode 44 starts with an interview with Carolina Panthers Wide Receiver, Brandon Zylstra (1:59-34:19). Brandon is a native of Minnesota and started his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings so we were both thrilled to have him on the show! We talked about his journey to the pros including the Canadian Football League and some of the different rules they play with. We then get into his time with the Vikings, the professionalism that comes with the job and how he gels with the personnel of the Carolina Panthers. Finish with how enjoyable lake life is and even gave him some touchdown celebration suggestions. Thank you to Brandon and Priority Sports for everything and good luck in the 2021 season. After the interview it's time for Clearys Comments (34:24-57:00) where we banter about random things. Matt takes a moment to comment on his performance in episode 43 then tells a juicy story that includes hot mics and announcers. This prompts Jordan to discuss the movie 'Our Idiot Brother' and the politically volatile language used in the film. Idiocracy remained the theme as there is a struggle to explain a story involving a wild bear and cocaine as well as oversized t-shirts and rip away pants. Read the room. What would you do if you were a cop and how do cold showers equate to success? We don't know either. Finish with the Olympics of Irish Things (57:02-69:05) and we will warn you, it is open for interpretation. It is a fact that Dropkick Murphy's is blaring at every Irish Pub and Matt has a joke for everyone. There are some controversial picks and a Gold medal for the ages. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Coach Walch walks us through his playing days, where he got to play with both of his brothers at Winona State, how the coaching staff really knew how to utilize his skill set. Coach Walch, also walks us through how he got into coaching, starting in the college ranks, then the CFL and the NFL. Working under the coaching tree of Marc Trestman (QB Whisperer & another MN Great, Bears) and Doug Pederson (Eagles). How important the psychology is in coaching, explaining how you really need to understand each individual you are working with so that you can make the most out of the relationship as well as the job at hand. What it was like coaching NFL receivers Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Nelson Agholor and my personal favorite Minnesota's own Brandon Zylstra! And honestly hearing the hottest take ever about the Randy Moss/Jerry Rice Goat debate! Look forward to seeing Coach Walch back in the NFL! A must listen!

2020 NFL Draft Prospect, WR out of Minnesota State University-Mankato, Shane Zylstra joins the show to talk about his record breaking Mavericks career as he reeled in 227 receptions for over 4300 yards and 54 touchdowns throughout the past 4 seasons, what it was like to not only have the individual success that he has had over the years but to have a great deal of team success to go with it. This past season the Mavericks finished 14-1. Their only loss came to West Florida in the National Championship game (48-40) in which Zylstra caught 11 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown. Zylstra also talks about what its like to follow in the foot steps of former Mankato great WR Adam Thielen as well as his very own brother, Brandon Zylstra, who played Division 3 football at Concordia-Moorhead and after a stint in the CFL, is now a member of the Carolina Panthers. Just hours before this interview was recorded, Shane had just got word that he was accepted and will participate in the University of Minnesota pro-day. Follow on Twitter @ChrisShanafelt

Good morning Horners! We have the Vikings versus Seahawks game reaction and recap on this episode of “GMG In The Raw.” You can watch and listen to how Ted Glover, Drew Bunting, and Dave Stefano react immediately following the game. Dave even took copious notes blowing Drew's mind away in the process. Kirk Cousins was showing some mobility, a good thing. We like that! We wanted to see a better running game, better run defense and see fewer wide receivers being open against that defense. These things were still there and we wondered could it be because the Minnesota Vikings were running their base, or bland defense, stuck in a simple zone scheme, could it be because Linval Joseph and Shamar Stephen weren’t playing, or just that it's the preseason and head coach Mike Zimmer doesn't want to show anything? Drew noted that when the second team defense comes in, they show more fire and that the level of excitement goes up in the stadium. “Their energy jumps.” Ifeadi Odenigbo did an outstanding job all night. Cameron Smith blitzed but whiffed on the sack. The scariest point of the evening came on the offense when Alexander Mattison had his leg bent in a very awkward position. All of us thought with Vikings fan dread, that he was going to be injured on that play, but he got back up and continue to play just fine. We've noted how he seems to get stronger as the game goes on. Oh, and what a night Boone had! We felt he secured the RB3 spot with that performance, and Zimmer liked his special teams play even more. Kyle Sloter had a very good game. We discussed why he should relieve Kirk Cousins as the QB2 in this week's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Both Dave and Drew were adamant that he earned that look, but Ted wasn't as convinced. He still thinks that Sean Mannion did nothing to lose his QB2 status. Yes, he threw the pick 6, but he drove down the field and scored on the next series. We are all to use to the team laying down after something as adverse as of miss-ran route that results in a pick and causing a huge swing in the scoring. After seeing the game Dave doesn’t think Sloter’s status has to do with the games. It has to do with practices and what support he brings to the rest of the QBs in the support role. He may be too inexperienced to see and help, at least in Zimmer’s mind. You'll have to listen to catch the rest of the GMG impressions on players like Kaare Vedvik, Dan Bailey, Matt Wile, Brandon Zylstra, and Dru Samia.

Viking Standouts - Including Mike Boone with 100 all-purpose yards, Jayron Kearse with several splash plays, Kyle Sloter looking legit, Brandon Zylstra having a bounce back game, Treadwell being showcased (for a trade) and Irv Smith checking the boxes on a solid outing. Kaare attempts all kicks, Holton Hill is ejected, Dalvin still held back. Elflein has a poor outing, while the offense seemed to move the ball decently. Defensive miscues need to be fixed, but still holding well against powerful Seahawks offense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

While there may be no true off-season in the NFL, there sure is in the land of Roughing The Podcast. Di and Ted return from the off-season hiatus, and jump dive stumble right in to a new season of RTP. And we are back to a weekly show from now until the end of the season. We kick off the show by discussing the offensive line, and how the death of Tony Sparano and the subsequent coaching changes could affect the team moving forward. From there, it’s the offensive line in general, and whether or not it’s time to hit the panice button with injuries. From there, we move to the pitched WR3 battle that looks like it’s becoming Laquon Treadwell’s to lose, and what expectations are for him moving forward. From there, we take listener questions, as a lot of them are training camp oriented. We discuss Richie Incognito, some more o-line talk, a quick take on Urban Meyer and the OSU situation, CB depth chart prediction, some Brandon Zylstra hot takes, and whether or not Kentrell Brothers and Cayleb Jones are still with the team after their suspensions are over. Finally, we wrap it up with a question about which current Vikings player could make the Hall of Fame (don’t laugh at Ted’s answer), and our two most depressing off-season sports headlines.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Brandon Zylstra took some time from offseason workouts to talk to the Eskimo Podcast about the adjustment to the NFL, the CFL, and what he needs to do to crack the Vikings roster.

Welcome to one of the most awesome conversations I’ve had around my dinner table, ever. With newly signed MINNESOTA VIKINGS receiver Brandon Zylstra and his college football coach Aaron Willits. We talked about a ton of stuff including how Brandon worked his way up through the ranks, fighting against circumstances that would discourage most people from even starting. One thing you’ll learn about Brandon from our conversation is his mindset. Obstacles don’t deter him, they motivate him. Setbacks don’t discourage him, they teach him. And opportunity doesn’t scare him, it excites him. Zylstra is the modern day embodiment of Dale Carnegie in that he does not criticize, condemn or complain. It’s like fighting from the bottom brings him vigor and vitality and he is *grateful* for the struggle. Every day is a new chance to prove himself. Find him on Instagram: @brandonzylstra
