I heard this thing about Bryan Braman, you know, the guy who used to be a linebacker for the Texans and Eagles? So, he’s dealing with this crazy aggressive cancer situation. Super serious, his agent says. Like, we’re talking really serious.
Braman’s 38 now, and he’s had a bunch of surgeries over in Seattle. Not really what you sign up for when you think about reaching your late 30s, right? Anyway, someone set up a GoFundMe to help him out with the whole money thing ’cause, you know, medical bills. Yikes. Cancer came knocking in February. Kind of an unwelcome guest, honestly.
His agent—Sean Stellato, not that you asked, but there it is—said something about strength, resilience, and leadership. Like, Bryan was always this underdog hero type. And now, with cancer? He’s really gotta show up. But if anyone can do it, it’s Braman. Sean seemed pretty emotional about it, talking to KPRC 2 or something. Family, you know? It’s deep.
The GoFundMe’s hit over $52K, which is kinda nuts. Oh, and J.J. Watt, remember him? He threw in ten grand himself. A bunch of other ex-teammates chipped in too. Gotta love that support network. Makes me wonder how I’d handle it if I were in his shoes.
Braman’s NFL run was from 2011 to 2017. Played seven seasons. He even snagged a Super Bowl with the Eagles. Fun fact: he blocked a punt in the playoffs. Still remember those days? Super Bowl LII was actually his last NFL game. Not a bad note to end on, really.
