It appears the NFL won't allow Kansas City Chiefs guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif to add to his already lengthy last name on game days.
The league rejected Duvernay-Tardif's request to add "M.D." to his jersey, according to Andy Mailly-Pressoir of TVA Sports.
The Chiefs lineman, who officially became a doctor this offseason, said he began conversations with the league in February before completing his medical degree at Montreal's McGill University.
Here's what Duvernay-Tardif's jersey would've looked like had his request been approved:
