For the first time ever, the NFL Players Association released report cards for all 32 teams. The report cards graded teams on treatment of families, nutrition, weight room, strength staff, training room, training staff, locker room, and travel. Each component was graded from A+ to F-, and each team was given a composite grade for everything.
The Carolina Panthers were ranked as the 12th best team in the league based on those report cards. They were among the best teams in the league in terms of treatment of families and training staff, but their grade was hampered by their weight room and food service.
