At the tail end of Patriots practice Tuesday, a player exited the field carrying his shoulder pads and helmet in one hand and a small thank-you note written on white Patriots stationery in the other. He handed the note to a woman who was working security outside the friends and family tent here at Patriots training camp, on the fields right outside Gillette Stadium, and thanked her for all she was doing.
Clearly a bit emotional, she tucked the note inside her pocket and resumed her duties, which included making sure no one was filming practice during nondesignated periods.
This random act of kindness was not an isolated incident, apparently.
