He Didn't Post Anything — But What Packers Coach Bobby King Did for Bryan Braman's Says It All

Green Bay, WI – July 22, 2025

Bobby King, assistant coach for the Green Bay Packers, has made a heartfelt commitment to support the two daughters of the late Bryan Braman, a former NFL linebacker who passed away on July 17, 2025, at age 38 after battling a rare, aggressive form of cancer. King, who shared a deep bond with Braman, announced he will provide financial support for Braman’s daughters, ages 11 and 8, until they reach 18.

King’s connection with Braman began when he advocated for the undrafted free agent to join the Houston Texans in 2011. As Braman’s coach, King recognized his relentless work ethic and spirit, helping him secure a spot in the NFL. Their relationship grew stronger during Braman’s tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he won Super Bowl LII. King described Braman as a “warrior” whose heart was as big as his presence on the field.

“Bryan was more than a player; he was family,” King said in a statement. “His daughters meant everything to him, and I want to honor his legacy by ensuring they have the support they need to thrive.” This pledge comes as a beacon of hope for Braman’s family, who faced significant challenges, including periods of homelessness during his childhood.

Braman’s impact extended beyond football, with his agent noting his generosity toward others despite his own hardships. A GoFundMe campaign raised over $88,000 for his medical expenses, with contributions from former teammates like J.J. Watt. King’s commitment reflects the same selflessness Braman embodied.

The Packers organization and fans have rallied behind King’s gesture, praising his dedication to Braman’s memory. This act underscores the profound influence athletes and coaches can have off the field, fostering a sense of community and compassion. As Braman’s daughters navigate their future, King’s support ensures their father’s legacy of resilience and love endures.
