Kansas City Chiefs right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, the first medical student graduate to play in the NFL, has returned to medicine amid the CCP virus pandemic.

Duvernay-Tardif, who just three months ago celebrated Kansas City Chiefs’ first Super Bowl victory in 50 years, is now working at a long-term care facility near Montreal, Canada, in a “nursing role,” according to an article he wrote for Sports Illustrated.
