The Kansas City Chiefs have a doctor on the roster.
Offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, graduated from McGill University's medical school, in Montréal on Tuesday.
The Chiefs picked Duvernay-Tardif in the sixth round of the 2014 draft, but he never gave up his pursuit of medicine, spending time each offseason doing school work and hospital rotations.
