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.

Patriots superstar Receives Joyful News Ahead of Big Game Against Steelers Foxborough, September 18, 2025 – As the New England Patriots gear up for a crucial Week 3 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, star wide receiver Stefon Diggs has received major personal news: his girlfriend, Grammy-winning rapper Cardi B, is pregnant with his first child. Cardi B announced the news on CBS Mornings during an interview with Gayle King. She proudly shared, “I feel strong, I feel powerful doing everything, but at the same time, I’m creating a little human being.” This will be Cardi B’s fourth child but Diggs’ first, stirring excitement in both the sports and entertainment worlds. Rumors of her pregnancy had been circulating on social media for weeks, and the official confirmation has thrilled fans. The baby is expected to arrive before Cardi B kicks off her Little Miss Drama Tour in February 2026. Her second studio album, Am I The Drama?, also drops on September 19, just before the Patriots-Steelers game. For Diggs, who has recorded 89 yards on 10 receptions in the first two games of the season, the joy of impending fatherhood is a significant motivator. Teammates say he remains highly focused in practice but is more upbeat than ever. When asked about celebration plans, Diggs simply smiled and said, “Just wait and see.” He added, “Playing for the Patriots was a dream, but having my dad give me more reason to fight on the field – not only for the team but for the family waiting behind me.” Diggs jokingly remarked, “I just hope the kid grows up a Patriots fan, not a Steelers one!” As the Patriots face a challenging season, this personal milestone could fuel Diggs’ performance against the Steelers. Fans are eagerly awaiting the game while celebrating the couple’s new chapter.
