Curtis Brinkley, a 23-year-old running back for the San Diego Chargers, was reportedly shot multiple times while sitting in a car near Ashbourne Road and Spring Avenue in Cheltenham Township at about midnight.
Police said a suspect approached Brinkley's vehicle and opened fire, striking the former West Catholic High School star several times.
Brinkley was able to drive a short distance before he was found by Cheltenham Police and rushed to Einstein Medical Center where he was reported in stable condition in the intensive care unit.
No arrests have been made and a motive for the shooting is unknown.
Brinkley played his college ball at Syracuse University and was signed by San Diego as a free agent after the 2009 National Football League draft. At West Catholic, Brinkley rushed for 7,429 yards and 85 touchdowns, breaking the Philadelphia prep school record previously held by NFL running back Kevin Jones.
