Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is a man of many talents.

The 29-year-old starts at right guard for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and also happens to be the first ever medical graduate to play in the NFL.

On Monday night, the McGill graduate and Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Quebec, native was honoured ahead of the Montreal Canadiens’ game against the Arizona Coyotes, where he also dropped the puck for the ceremonial faceoff.



Duvernay-Tardif was met with a loud standing ovation from the home crowd and he made sure to give all the players on the Canadiens’ bench a fist bump before heading off the ice.



De l'encouragement spécial avant le match.

The 6-year NFL veteran is just the second player out of McGill to be selected in the NFL Draft.​
