Mahomes Sends Condolences to Eagles Super Bowl champion's Family : “I’m heartbroken to hear about his passing"

Kansas City, MO – In a rare moment away from the spotlight of the gridiron, Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, has publicly expressed deep sorrow over the passing of former NFL player Bryan Braman. The news of Braman’s death, a Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018, has sent shockwaves through the American football community after he passed away on July 17, 2025, at the age of 38 following a battle with a rare form of cancer.

Mahomes, who has faced the Eagles in several high-stakes matchups, shared his emotions via a social media post on the afternoon of Friday, July 18, 2025. “I’m heartbroken to hear about Bryan Braman’s passing,” Mahomes wrote. “He was a true warrior, not just on the field but in life. His dedication to football and love for his family are inspiring. My thoughts are with his children and family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Bryan.”

Mahomes’ condolences quickly went viral, garnering thousands of interactions from fans and peers alike. As one of the NFL’s most prominent figures, Mahomes not only paid tribute to Braman – known for his standout special teams plays – but also highlighted the former player’s resilient spirit during his illness. Braman, who also played for the Houston Texans, left a legacy with 56 tackles and 1.5 sacks across 97 games over seven seasons.

Braman’s story, from an undrafted player to a Super Bowl champion, has touched the hearts of many, including Mahomes. Though the two were never teammates, the respect among NFL athletes often transcends team lines, and Mahomes’ statement is a testament to that bond. “I’ve gone back and watched some of his moments on the field, especially in Super Bowl LII,” Mahomes added in a brief interview with local media. “He’s the kind of person every young player should look up to – never giving up, no matter the circumstances.”

Braman’s passing, confirmed by his agent Sean Stellato, has prompted tributes from former teammates like J.J. Watt and Emmanuel Acho. Mahomes, as one of the NFL’s brightest young leaders, chose to use his platform to honor a colleague while sending a message of unity within the football community.

Fans of the Chiefs and football enthusiasts worldwide now turn their thoughts to Braman’s family, where he leaves behind two daughters aged 11 and 8. Mahomes’ condolences are not just a humane gesture but also a reminder of life’s fragility, even for the toughest warriors on the field. In the days ahead, the NFL community will undoubtedly continue to remember Bryan Braman – a legend under the light of an unbreakable spirit.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
