Bryan Braman, who won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles and also played for the Houston Texans, died Thursday at the age of 38.

Agent Sean Stellato confirmed Braman’s death Thursday, after the former NFL player sought treatment from an aggressive form of cancer he learned about in February.

“Bryan, people saw this enormous human being, but his heart was big as his body,” Stellato told KPRC 2 in Houston. “His spirit was so motivating. He was so real and genuine with everybody. That made him special.

“It’s hard. I feel like I lost my firstborn. This kid, he gave me his bed every time I came to Philadelphia. He would threaten me if I didn’t stay with him. That’s something I’ll always cherish. My heart hurts today.”

Braman had multiple surgeries as part of the treatment in Seattle, according to a GoFundMe page.

Braman leaves two daughters, ages 11 and 8.

“Rest in Peace brother,” Watt wrote on social media. “Gone far too soon.”
