Bryan Braman never had the spotlight like Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes or other NFL stars. That didn't stop him from winning a Super Bowl and fighting a tough battle with cancer.
The former Eagles and Texans player finally passed away at the age of 38. The linebacker was suffering from a rare and highly aggressive form of cancer, and tributes to Bryan Braman quickly poured in from all quarters. His friend and former teammate JJ Watt is one of them.
Rest in Peace brother.
Gone far too soon.
