Who is
Brian Moorman
An Athlete
finding unlikely success
As a division II athlete coming out of a small school in Kansas Brian Moorman could not have expected a shot in the NFL.
But the Buffalo Bills signed Moorman as a punter in 2001 kicking off a remarkable career.
During his 13 seasons Moorman was elected to 2 pro bowls, 6-time team captain, an NFL All Decade team and the Buffalo Bills 50th anniversary team.
Moorman has Buffalo's longest punt at 84 yards.
Moorman's athleticism made him a constant threat. A fake punt would often result in a first down if not a touchdown. Over his career Moorman threw for 68 yards, 2 touchdowns and rushed for another 55 yards.
Moorman became a fan favorite through his leadership, character and intensity. Moorman never missed a start in his 202 game career.
A Giver
helping families fight unlikely odds
The character Moorman displayed on the field was an echo of his true character off the field.
Early in his career Brian and his wife Amber would visit sick children at The Roswell Park Cancer Institute and the Women & Children's Hospital of Buffalo. They would visit every Tuesday evening.
Brian and his wife Amber formed strong relationships with the patients and their families lending support when it was needed most. Brian saw how one child’s fight affected the whole family and desired to help these families.
In 2004 Brian and Amber founded Brian Moorman’s P.U.N.T. Foundation to make a difference in the lives of children in Western New York who are fighting cancer.
Brian Moorman's P.U.N.T. Foundation helps ease the financial burden for the families and provides safe and enjoyable experiences for the children and their families.
A Hero
capturing the heart of an unlikely city
On the Field...
Moorman was the face of consistency and determination during a turbulent era of a football franchise.
... and Off
Brian Moorman's P.U.N.T. foundation has successfully pulled along side hurting families for over a decade. The Foundation is now an accredited BBB charity and continues to raise money and awareness to battle pediatric cancer in Western New York.
When his time as a Bill came to an end Brian Moorman wrote an open letter thanking the fans which ran in the Buffalo News on August 29th, 2014.
To the patients, especially the kids: you are my heroes. Don’t stop fighting. You are some of the most courageous individuals I have ever met.
To the survivors and the families of the survivors: I have only admiration for your roadmap on how to attack controversy, and your ability to be truly unselfish and wildly supportive against the longest of odds.
To the families of those whom we lost: thank you for allowing my wife and me to be part of your journey.
