Overview

  • Agent Sean Stellato and the Philadelphia Eagles confirmed that Braman died at age 38 following his rare cancer battle.
  • Diagnosed in February, Braman underwent multiple surgeries in Seattle and rounds of chemotherapy, but his weakened immune system allowed the tumor to spread around vital organs.
  • A GoFundMe campaign raised over $88,000 for his treatment, including a $10,000 donation from former Texans star J.J. Watt.
  • Braman played seven NFL seasons from 2011 to 2017, beginning as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans and winning Super Bowl LII with the Philadelphia Eagles.
  • He is survived by two daughters, aged eight and eleven, and received tributes from teammates such as J.J. Watt and Lane Johnson.
