Allen Park — Separated in age by four years, brothers Shane and Brandon Zylstra never had the opportunity to share a football field — not at New London-Spicer (Minn.) High School, or in college, where Brandon played at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. and Shane attended Minnesota State.
But finally, at the ages of 29 and 25, the pair were able to realize a childhood dream on Sunday, when both suited up for the Detroit Lions against the Green Bay Packers and took the field for the game's opening kickoff.
"It's meant everything," Shane said the day after the game.
