NFLPA Report Card Highlights Facility and Management Issues Across Teams
The Patriots and Eagles face criticism in player surveys, with both franchises receiving low marks in key categories like travel, locker rooms, and ownership commitment.
- The New England Patriots ranked 31st out of 32 NFL teams in the NFLPA’s annual player survey, receiving failing grades in travel, weight room, and training room facilities.
- Former Patriots coach Jerod Mayo earned the team’s highest grade (B+) in the survey, while new head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the team faces a multi-year rebuild.
- The Philadelphia Eagles dropped from 4th to 22nd in the rankings, with players citing insufficient travel upgrades, overcrowded locker rooms, and a lack of family care support during games.
- The Eagles have made some improvements since the survey, including staggered cafeteria schedules and first-class seating for certain players, but players feel more changes are needed.
- The NFLPA survey, conducted anonymously among players, highlights broader issues with team facilities and management across the league, despite on-field success for some franchises.
