BREAKING NEWSSuper Bowl winner Bryan Braman ᴅᴇᴀᴅ at 38 after battling cancer

Bryan Braman, a former NFL linebacker and member of the Super Bowl LII-champion Philadelphia Eagles, has died from a rare and aggressive form of cancer at 38.

His agent, Sean P. Stellato, confirmed his death Thursday. 

The Spokane, Washington native leaves behind two daughters.

A journeyman linebacker who attended three colleges before stints with the Houston Texas, Eagles, New Orleans Saints and Eagles again, Braman primarily contributed on special teams and once blocked a punt in a divisional-round playoff game.

The Eagles’ Super Bowl LII victory in February of 2018 was his final appearance in the NFL. 

Diagnosed in February, Braman’s unspecified condition was later revealed in a GoFundMe drive aimed at covering his medical expenses. His former Texans teammate, JJ Watt, personally donated $10,000, while others such as Emmanuel Acho spread the word on social media.

A June 20 update by organizer William Jones explained that ‘Bryan is home with his family after undergoing a Car-t cell reprogramming treatment program in Seattle.’ 

Initially the Car-t cell reprogramming appeared successful and his cells started ‘reproducing within his bone marrow,’ according to Jones. But while the mᴀss began shrinking, the ‘cancer started fighting back,’ Jones explained.

‘Bryan has not given up,’ Jones wrote. ‘He is looking into other trial treatment programs, and is determined to never give up.’ 

The GoFundMe campaign raised nearly $90,000 for Braman.

‘At Stellato Sports, Bryan Braman has always stood for strength, resilience and leadership,’ Stellato told KPRC 2 in Houston prior to his death. ‘He is a pillar and a staple of the underdog.’
