Speaking last March at the NFL owners meeting in Florida, Patriots owner Robert Kraft expressed dismay over the poor grades doled out to his team in the latest NFL Players Association’s (NFLPA) report cards.
“I must tell you, I was unaware of how bad it was,” Kraft told reporters, adding: “I’d be very surprised if that didn’t improve.”
But a year after New England ranked 29th out of 32 teams in the NFLPA’s grading system — including an F-minus for treatment of families and an F for the team’s weight room — the results were even worse this past season.
