Singh highlighted that Duvernay-Tardif opted out of the 2020 NFL season.
He instead worked at a long term care facility in Quebec to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Canadians are known for our generous spirit around the world," the NDP leader said in his tweet.
Singh also mentioned that Duvernay-Tardif is an example of why that is and called him "a hero" like all frontline workers.
Duvernay-Tardif, who has a doctorate in medicine, won the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs as a starting offensive lineman back in February.
He said that he's honoured to be recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and accepted it on his behalf but also for all frontline workers.
