Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire subtly dropped in a TikTok recently the news that he’s currently in school to become a nurse.

This sparked interest in fans to want to know more about what led Edwards-Helaire to continue that process while still playing in the NFL.

Edwards-Helaire explained that his decision to go into nursing was inspired by the fact that his mother is a nurse. Also, his little sister was born with muscular dystrophy, so it’s a field he’s always been passionate to learn more about.

The 24-year-old told reporters on Wednesday that it was a goal he’s been pursuing since he started college at LSU in 2019. 

“I know, for my profession, what I want to do for the rest of my life,” Edwards-Helaire said, via KSHB41. “If y’all need some shots or an IV, holler at ya boy.”

This week, Edwards-Helaire has a little bit extra on his plate, as the Chiefs prepare to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional round of the playoffs on Sunday night.
