The first medical doctor to play in the NFL has returned to medicine to tackle the coronavirus.
Offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif scrambled to the front lines just three months after helping the Kansas City Chiefs’ first Super Bowl victory in 50 years.
“My first day back in the hospital was April 24,” the 29-year-old guard wrote in Sports Illustrated of Friday’s first shift at a long-term care facility about an hour outside Montreal in Canada.
“I felt nervous the night before, but a good nervous, like before a game,” he said, adding the work left him “drained.”
“It’s wild to think that just 10 weeks earlier I played in the biggest game in sports.”
