Bryan Braman Passes Away from Cancer, JJ Watt Pledges to Cover His Two Daughters’ Education Until They Turn 18

Bryan Braman Passes Away from Cancer, JJ Watt Pledges to Cover His Two Daughters’ Education Until They Turn 18

While the entire NFL community is still reeling from the shocking news of Bryan Braman’s sudden passing — the former Eagles linebacker and Super Bowl 2017 champion — fans were once again brought to tears by a powerful gesture from his former teammate: NFL legend JJ Watt.

JJ Watt was the first to step up and donate $10,000 after hearing that Braman was battling a rare form of cancer. But the miracle never came. Bryan Braman lost his fight, leaving behind two young daughters, Blakely (11) and Marlowe (8), along with an irreplaceable void in the hearts of the NFL family.

However, the brotherhood forged on the football field didn’t end there.

JJ Watt stunned the nation when he announced that he would cover all educational expenses for Braman’s two daughters until they turn 18.

“I couldn’t save my brother. But I will make sure that what he left behind — two little angels — will have a future worthy of the love Bryan had for them,” Watt shared emotionally in a social media post.

The NFL community and Eagles fans across the country have been sharing this heartfelt story. Many other prominent players have voiced their support, and a scholarship fund named after Bryan Braman is now being organized to assist other former players’ families in need.

A hug, a donation, a promise — simple things, yet eternal. And today, the Eagles brotherhood has gone beyond the football field, touching the hearts of millions.
