Former Eagles Player Bryan Braman Dies at 38 After Battle with Brain Cancer

Former NFL linebacker Bryan Braman, who played a crucial role in the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl win in 2018, passed away on Wednesday night after being diagnosed with brain cancer earlier this year, according to his agent.

The 38-year-old Braman died in a hospital in Spokane, Washington, his hometown, as confirmed by agent Sean Stellato to NBC News.

Having started his football career at Long Beach City College and Division II West Texas A&M, Braman went on to sign with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2011. He later joined the Philadelphia Eagles, where he made significant contributions to the team's special teams for four seasons.

Matthew Harper, the assistant special teams coach during Braman's time with the Eagles, described him as energetic and beloved both on and off the field.

The Eagles released a statement expressing their sorrow over Braman's passing and highlighting his positive impact on the team and the community.

Braman's final game was in Super Bowl 52, where his crucial tackle helped secure the Eagles' victory over the New England Patriots. Despite not receiving immediate recognition for his play, Braman's teammates and coaches acknowledged his vital role in the game.

Braman is survived by his two daughters, aged 11 and 8, as well as his mother and sister.
