Laurent Duvernay-Tardif: Doctor

At the same time that he played for the Kansas City Chiefs, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif also managed to graduate from medical school in 2018. That year, he signed a $41 million deal with the NFL club, so we don’t think he can pursue a medical practice anytime soon. Nonetheless, he is the only active medical doctor in the league. Isn’t it amazing that he is a starter on such a great team as well?
