Despite Robert Kraft taking a personal interest, the Patriots’ grades from a recent (anonymous) NFLPA survey showed that the team is on a continued downward trend.
The Patriots ranked 31 out of 32 teams in overall terms, receiving particularly bad marks for the team’s weight room (F), travel (F), and even ownership (D).
Kraft, New England’s longtime owner, told reporters in 2024 he would be “very surprised if that didn’t improve” in the future. Yet the Patriots’ ranking has plummeted even farther in 2025.
Granted, the Patriots should see an uptick when the planned $50 million practice facility (currently under construction) opens in 2026.
