The Richland, Washington native has accumulated 283 career tackles (228 solo), 15.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, one interception and 16 passes defensed.

Originally a first round (32nd overall) selection by Oakland in the 2003 NFL Draft, Brayton started in all 16 contests as a rookie and set a career-high in tackles (61) while adding 2.5 sacks. In 2009, the Colorado alum totaled a career-high five sacks and two forced fumbles.
