Collier paralyzed

He got paralyzed from the waist down and had to have one leg amputated. Man this is sad, I feel so sorry for the guy, I hope that he can bounce back and have a successful life.

This is rough, and being in Jacksonville, I can already see its hit the city pretty hard.

Hopefully he will get the same treatment Kevin Everett did.

Really sad news. Nobody deserves that kind of fate. Hopefully he will be strong enough to live a good life.

Very sad and I hope he finds peace with it. 14 bullet wounds and yet he still lived is just amazing to me!

This is truly sad as Rich was one of my favorite players on the team. A real nice guy and he seemed to have a lot of potential to do great things for the Jags. I hope they do something for him for the game Sunday night.

It's too bad. He's a real nice guy. Pretty much taking care of his nephews/niece as their legal guardian. Not only did his life change, but theirs as well.
