When Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif completes medical school in May, he may have the coolest M.D. business card ever — his jersey.
Duvernay-Tardif told the Kansas City Star he wants his jersey nameplate to read “Duvernay-Tardif M.D.” once he completes his seven-year journey through medical school with one final exam this spring.
"I've already started a conversation with the league office, and they say that anything is possible," Duvernay-Tardif said.

Duvernay-Tardif was a sixth-round pick by the Chiefs in 2014 out of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. He signed a five-year extension with the team last February and has two more life goals to accomplish after becoming a doctor.
"If I make it to the Pro Bowl in the same year that I graduate from medicine ... and win the Super Bowl, then I don't know what I'm going to do," Duvernay-Tardif said. "All my goals will be accomplished."
