Bryan Braman, a former NFL linebacker known for his time with the Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles, has passed away at the age of 38 after a battle with a rare form of cancer. Braman was diagnosed earlier this year and underwent multiple surgeries in Seattle. His fight prompted a GoFundMe campaign that raised more than $88,000 to support his treatment, including a $10,000 contribution from former teammate J.J. Watt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Braman played seven seasons in the NFL, making his mark primarily on special teams. He played three years with the Texans before joining the Eagles, where he was part of the team\u2019s Super Bowl LII victory over the New England Patriots in 2018. That season marked the end of his NFL career. He is survived by his two young daughters, ages 11 and 8. Tributes poured in from across the football world, with many remembering him for his fierce play and larger-than-life personality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
