Emotional clip resurfaces of late Bryan Braman hyping up the Eagles before Super Bowl 2018 win after death at 38

Footage of the late Bryan Braman hyping up his Philadelphia Eagles teammates ahead of their Super Bowl LII win has resurfaced on social media. 

Braman, a former NFL defensive end who had stints with the Houston Texas, Eagles and New Orleans Saints, died on Thursday, at 38, after battling a rare form of cancer.

Tributes quickly flooded onto social media for the former Eagles star and, among them, one fan shared an old clip of Braman delivering a fiery pre-game speech.

In the clip, an energetic Braman shouts: ‘Intestines, we’ll turn them inside out. They’re going to be hanging out next to the f***ing banner in the Linc. 

‘Let’s go! I don’t hear y’all! Let’s go. Hey, I’m looking for a pink puff of smoke out the back of the next head that you all take off. Let’s go. Eagles kill!’

Evidently, Braman’s speech worked as the Eagles went on to defeat the New England Patriots 41-33 on the night. It was his final appearance in the NFL.

One of Braman’s former teammates – Chris Long – previously addressed the pᴀssionate speech and admitted that the former defensive end was perfect for them. 

‘We had a guy named Bryan Braman, special teams guy, looks like he’s in a biker gang, long hair,’ Long told the Ryen Russillo podcast in 2020. 

‘Bryan Braman was an absolute psychopath and he was like our cameo speech guy. And sometimes he would just, real impromptu, start screaming and looking like a ҒUCҜing hedgehog, knocking sнιт over in the locker room, eyes bulging out of his head. 

‘And, of course, he did look like a Sons of Anarchy dude so you were like, yeah, I’m listening. But Braman got going Super Bowl Sunday and I was like, ‘Yeah, you got it, bro.’

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.’

Although he went undrafted out of Idaho in 2011, Braman developed a bit of a cult following as a special teams contributor in Houston, blocking several punts, including one for a touchdown. He was named as a Pro Bowl alternate in 2012.

Braman moved on to Philadelphia in 2014 and New Orleans in 2017, but suffered an injury and was placed on injured reserve before being released.

That proved fortuitous for Braman, who signed with the Eagles in December before blocking a punt from the Atlanta Falcons’ Matt Bosher in a 15-10 divisional-round playoff win.
