The NFLPA began to publish club report cards this year, culled from player evaluations from each team in question. They were graded on treatment of families, food service and nutrition, weight room, strength coaches, training room, training staff, locker room, and team travel.
The Pittsburgh Steelers graded out 22nd overall, ranked in the top 10 only in the food service category. They were graded particularly poorly in the category of treatment of families (D-), training room (D-), and the locker room (D+).
Nobody with the team had been asked about it before yesterday, with owner Art Rooney II fielded a question on the subject.
