Playing his collegiate football with the University of McGill between 2010 to 2013, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif would win the J. P. Metras Trophy during his final year at the school, recognizing him as the best lineman in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport system. Going on to be drafted by both the Calgary Stampeders (19th overall) of the CFL (Canadian Football League) and Kansas City Chiefs (200th overall) of the NFL (National Football League) at each league's respective drafts in 2014, Duvernay-Tardif would go on to play a total of seventy-three (73) games in the NFL over the course of seven (7) years in the league with both Kansas City and the New York Jets. Winning a Super Bowl with Kansas City in 2019 and awarded the Lou Marsh Trophy in 2020 as well as the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year award the same year due to his choosing to opt out of the 2020 NFL season to help fight the Covid-19 Pandemic, offered here is this original painting capturing Duvernay-Tardif that was done by Quebec artist Jill "Devo" Fortin. Developing her own technique using acrylic paint as well as her fingers and a cloth, the piece captures both headshot and action images of Duvernay-Tardif from Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers while a Chiefs crest has been added over the upper left hand corner. Beautifully done and large in size, measuring 36" x 48" for its effort, the surface remains in excellent condition with no major problems to report while only light wear is seen from age and display. Signed by the artist over the bottom right corner, don't miss out on this truly one of a kind offering. Please note that due to the size and/or weight, special shipping arrangements may be required.
