Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Richard Collier was shot early Tuesday morning in Jacksonville, Florida.
Collier, 26, who stands 6-7 and weighs 345 pounds, was shot multiple times and is now said to be in critical condition at Shands Jacksonville Medical Center. The shooting took place at approximately 2:45 a.m. in a middle to upper-middle class neighborhood west of downtown Jacksonville.
Collier and a pal, former Jaguars player Kenneth Pettway, were in a car outside an apartment building, waiting for a woman to meet them, when gunfire broke out.
Richard Collier is the third NFL player to be shot in the past 18 months. Washington Redskins player Sean Taylor was killed during a burglary of his home in Miami in November last year. Broncos player Darrent Williams was killed when he was shot in a rented limousine after a New Year’s Eve party at a Denver nightclub in the beginning of 2007.
