The KC Chiefs offensive lineman graduated from medical school today

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.

Duvernay-Tardif plans to begin his medical career after his playing days are over.

He signed a $41.25 million, five-year contract to remain with the Chiefs last offseason.
