Bryan Braman, a Super Bowl champion linebacker, has passed away at the age of 38 after battling a rare form of cancer. Known for his relentless energy on and off the field, Braman played seven seasons in the NFL with teams including the Houston Texans and the Philadelphia Eagles, winning Super Bowl LII with the Eagles.
Diagnosed in February with an aggressive and unusual cancer, he underwent intensive treatments such as CAR-T therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. Although the tumor initially responded, it spread rapidly around his vital organs as his immune system weakened.
During his illness, supporters launched a fundraising campaign to help cover medical, travel, and lodging costs not fully covered by insurance. Braman was celebrated as a warrior whose passion for football and perseverance inspired teammates and fans alike. His death at such a young age leaves a lasting legacy of determination, courage, and commitment to the sport he loved.
