Chiefs' Laurent Duvernay-Tardif leads rare life as football player, future doctor

MONTREAL -- Laurent Duvernay-Tardif might be the NFL’s most interesting man.

He juggles two full-time occupations, one playing offensive line for the Kansas City Chiefs and the other studying medicine at McGill University in his native Montreal.

Medical school is only the beginning of what makes Duvernay-Tardif a rare NFL player. He backpacked through Europe at 16. He has taken two yearlong sailing trips with his family. He’s bilingual, having picked up English to go along with French.

"If they ever want to do a '30 for 30' on an offensive lineman, it would have to be Larry," said Chiefs center Mitch Morse, using the nickname the Chiefs have for their French-Canadian teammate.
