Super Bowl-winning linebacker Bryan Braman has d**d at 38 after battling a rare form of ca**er, his agent confirmed to CNN Sports on Thursday. He played seven NFL seasons with two teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cBryan Braman was a warrior in every sense \u2013 on the field and in life \u2013 facing every battle with unshakable grit and heart,\u201d Sean Stellato said per CNN. \u201cHis passing leaves a void not just in football, but in the spirit of every underdog who ever dared to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
A GoFundMe page was set up to support Bryan Braman after he was diagnosed with a rare, life-thr**tening ca**er in February. He needed an intense 12-week treatment program in Seattle, which required a 24-hour caregiver. However, his insurance didn\u2019t cover housing, leaving him without a permanent place to stay. He had already spent much of his savings, even selling his last vehicle to afford a motel for the week.<\/p>\n
A June 20 GoFundMe update shared that Bryan Braman had returned home after undergoing CAR-T cell therapy in Seattle for a very rare form of ca**er. While the treatment initially showed promise\u2014his reprogrammed cells began reproducing and shrinking the t*mor\u2014the cancer soon fought back. He has since begun chemotherapy tailored to his treatment program.<\/p>\n
The update explained that Bryan has undergone several surgeries, but due to a weakened immune system from treatment, his recovery has been difficult. By the time he regained enough strength for more chemo, the ca**er had grown rapidly and was spreading around his vital organs.<\/p>\n
