He was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, according to a gofundme set up in his name in February. More than $ 88,000 was collected on his behalf, including $ 10,000 from the former Texans star of Houston JJ Watt.
The last update on the collection of funds last month said that Braman had undergone a “reprogramming treatment for Car-T cells”. While initially showing signs of efficiency, the fundraising organizer said that “cancer has developed exponentially more quickly and is now developing around its vital organs”.

Braman spent the majority of his seven -year career in the NFL with the Eagles. He helped bring a Super Bowl title to Philadelphia with an upset victory against the Patriots of New England.
He was signed as a free agent not drafted in 2011 by the Texans, where he played for three seasons. He signed with the Eagles in 2014 and joined the team again just before the playoffs in 2017. He would continue to record a tackle in their Super Bowl victory.

Braman was out of competition in West Texas A&M before becoming a pro. He played in 97 NFL games from 2011 to 2017, recording 56 plated, 1.5 bags and a breakdown recovery.
