Former Eagles Super Bowl Champion Bryan Braman Faces Aggressive Cancer Battle
Former NFL linebacker Bryan Braman, a key player in the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII victory, is currently battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Diagnosed earlier this year, Braman is undergoing a 12-week treatment program in Washington. Despite initial signs of effectiveness from the CAR-T cell reprogramming treatment, the cancer has progressed rapidly, now growing around his vital organs.
As a former player with the Houston Texans and a key member of the Eagles’ 2017 playoff run, Braman’s journey through this health challenge has garnered significant support. A GoFundMe campaign has raised over $70,000 to aid his treatment, reflecting the community’s solidarity. His agent, Sean Stellato, emphasized Braman’s resilience and strength, stating that the player is a ‘pillar of the underdog’ and has ‘always stood for strength, resilience, and leadership.’
Braman’s case highlights the challenges faced by athletes dealing with serious illnesses, and his continued fight has inspired many. His situation also underscores the importance of ongoing medical research and the support networks that can be crucial in such battles.
