by Hugo Fontaine, translated by Dan Braverman @canadiensMTL / canadiens.com
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has accomplished quite a bit in his 26 years on the planet. After a successful stint with the McGill University Redmen, the Mont-Saint-Hilaire native caught the eye of the Kansas City Chiefs' scouting staff, and the Chiefs' offensive line has come to count on him bigtime in his three seasons with the club. On top of his success at the NFL level and the big contract he signed this winter, Duvernay-Tardif is on his way to completing his medical degree and will one day swap his cleats out for a stethoscope. Ahead of his fourth NFL season, we sat down with the 6-foot-5, 321-pounder to learn a bit more about his experience south of the border.
