At least two that I know of.

Darryl Stingley of the New England Patriots suffered a fractured 4th and 5th cervial vertabrae from a hit by Jack Tatum of the Oakland Raiders. While Stingley regained very limited movement in his right arm he was a quadriplegic for the rest of his life.

Mike Utley of the Detroit Lions suffered a fractured 6th and 7th cervical vertabrae during a game against the Rams in 1991. His paralysis is from the waist down.

I remember a Baltimore Colt in 1979?

There is no specific count of how many people have been paralyzed while playing in the NFL. Paralysis or serious spinal injuries are rare in the NFL, and the league has implemented various rules and safety measures to prevent such incidents. When they do occur, they are carefully tracked and measures are taken to improve player safety.
