Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is used to combating a pass rush as an offensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs. However, he's now combating the coronavirus. Despite starting in the Super Bowl just two months ago, Duvernay-Tardif is working on the front lines during the coronavirus pandemic.

Before being drafted by the Chiefs in the 2014 NFL Draft, Duvernay-Tardif actually became a registered doctor. As a matter of fact, he graduated from McGill University Faculty of Medicine with degrees in medicine and surgery.

During the offseasons, Duvernay-Tardif usually spends time working as a doctor. It's safe to say that he didn't expect to be working as a doctor during a pandemic though.

“It’s wild to think that just 10 weeks earlier I played in the biggest game in sports,” he said, via Sports Illustrated. “I was reminded of that even at the facility, when one of the people training me turned and said, “You’re the football player, right?” When I answered yes, he said, “Bro, you just won the Super Bowl.” Indeed, I told him, and now I just want to help.”

Over the past five seasons, Duvernay-Tardif has become a mainstay on Kansas City's offensive line. On gameday, he spends his time making sure that Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes doesn't end up on his back.

For the most part, he usually ends up being successful in achieving that. Now, he's turning his attention to aiding the nurses and doctors that need all the help they can get.

Nevertheless, Duvernay-Tardif is among the heroes that are putting their lives at risk during these trying times. After being celebrated as a Super Bowl champion, Duvernay-Tardif should be celebrated for his efforts during the coronavirus pandemic.
