Chiefs OL Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is Working to Help the Sick and Elderly in Quebec Amid Coronavirus Pandemic

We've seen players across the NFL lend a helping hand to those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has left so many without basic resources because of all the jobs lost while the country is closed.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive star Frank Clark was a prime example of that, but his teammate, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, is taking his efforts to a whole different level.

The Chiefs offensive lineman is a licensed medical professional, and he's currently working in a nursing home in Quebec to help the sick and elderly.

Duvernay-Tardif began working in a CHSLD (a residential and long-term care center) in the Montérégie (a region in Quebec) over the weekend, but the French publication reporting the news didn't reveal the name of the place he's working because the offensive lineman has been hard to reach, and it's clear he doesn't want to bring much attention to the subject.

According to La Presse, Duvernay-Tardif is assigned to the attendant and nurse duties at the CHSLD, which actually isn't overly affected by COVID-19. Per the recommendations of health officials, LDT was advised against working in the field due to the risky nature, but he wanted to help in some way, so he's making that a reality with these efforts.

Duvernay-Tardif also did the team a big solid this offseason by restructuring his contract to free up some cap space so the Chiefs could make room for the incoming rookie class after the NFL Draft.

The Chiefs veteran has a doctorate in medicine and is one of the more intriguing football players in the world given this dichotomy. He's one of the few -- and perhaps the only one -- NFL players contributing to the cause in this manner.
