A dozen preferred parking spots at training camp are up for grabs in the Patriots offseason training program and the players who work the hardest and/or accomplish the most during the months of April, May and June have a shorter walk from car to dorm in July and August.
Who makes up this Dirty Dozen unafraid to dig down and build some sweat equity for the season ahead? Who won the preferred parking spots?
Here are the players worthy of commendation for their efforts: quarterbacks Damon Huard and Tom Brady; wide receivers Troy Brown and David Patten; guard Mike Compton; center Grey Ruegamer; defensive linemen David Nugent and Willie McGinest; linebackers Larry Izzo and Ryan Phillips; and safeties Tebucky Jones and Lawyer Milloy.
