Former NFL player Bryan Braman has died at 38, his agent Sean Stellato confirmed.
Braman spent seven years in the NFL, playing for the Texans and Eagles. He was part of the Eagles team that won Super Bowl 52.
In February, Braman was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of life-threatening cancer and was undergoing treatment, as USA Today reported.
A GoFundMe page revealed Braman had multiple surgeries during his treatment in Seattle. The fundraiser surpassed $88,000, with former teammate J.J. Watt donating $10,000. Duane Brown donated $2,500 and Brian Cushing donated $1,000.
Unfortunately, Stellato confirmed news of his death on July 17.
"Bryan, people saw this enormous human being, but his heart was big as his body," Stellato told KPRC 2 in Houston. "His spirit was so motivating. He was so real and genuine with everybody. That made him special.
"It's hard. I feel like I lost my firstborn. This kid, he gave me his bed every time I came to Philadelphia. He would threaten me if I didn't stay with him. That's something I'll always cherish. My heart hurts today."
Along with Stellato, the NFL community is mourning the loss of Braman.
"I didn't intend on crying this morning. Then I read the news on my teammate, Bryan Braman. Love you Braman. You lived a hard life, and you never complained about it. A champion in life and a warrior in death," Emmanuel Acho wrote on X.
"Rest in Peace brother. Gone far too soon," JJ Watt shared.
