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.
