Bryan Allan Braman (/ˈbrɑːmən/ BRAH-mən; May 4, 1987 – July 16, 2025) was an American professional football player who was a linebacker for seven seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Idaho Vandals, Long Beach City College (LBCC), and West Texas A&M Buffaloes before being signed by the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2011. Braman was also a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints. Braman won Super Bowl LII with the Eagles in 2018.

Braman was born and raised in Spokane, Washington. He was born in the Hillyard neighborhood, which was one of the city's most impoverished neighborhoods, and often moved around with his mother and younger sister. He and his sister were raised alone by his mother, Tina Braman-Fields, after his father abandoned them. His family spent significant portions of his childhood and teen years homeless.

Braman attended Shadle Park High School, where he initially ran track before deciding to join the football team.

Braman was known for his large size and athletic build. While still in high school he was already 230 pounds (100 kg) and 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m). During his later professional career he was 241 pounds (109 kg) and the same height. Size and athleticism ran in his family, with his maternal grandfather Ivan Cecil Braman having weighed 365 pounds (166 kg) and stood 7 feet 4 inches (2.24 m). His mother had been a sprinting star while in high school.

Braman accepted an offer to play football at the University of Idaho, but quickly failed out. He would later recall that he had suffered depression while at Idaho. He stayed in the state of Idaho for some time, working as a concrete layer for a railroad tie company, earning slightly more than minimum wage. At this time he was homeless, spending some of his nights sleeping beside his pet dog on park benches.

Braman attended Long Beach City College (a two year community college) and played with its football team the following year.

Due to Braman having taken a year off from NCAA football after departing Idaho State, and limitations on his eligibility to play, Braman only received offers from Division II programs. He accepted an offer from West Texas A&M over offers from Central Washington and Midwestern State. Braman played strongly during his senior career, during which the team won the 2009 Lone Star Conference South Championship. Braman only played five games of his senior season, as he was suspended after being charged for psilocybin that had been found by police in a house to which he was connected. While Braman has said that he was living elsewhere at the time, his name was listed on the rental agreement, and he pleaded guilty in June 2011, being sentenced to one year of deferred adjudication and payment of a $2,000 fine. However, thirty days after sentencing, the prosecutor terminated his probation and dismissed his case.

Braman went undrafted in the 2011 NFL draft, but entered the NFL the following season with the Houston Texans, being signed as a rookie free agent.
