INDIANAPOLIS — A poll of 1,706 NFL players again produced some eyebrow-raising highlights and lowlights for franchises across the league this week, as the NFL Players Association released their second annual club report cards on workplace conditions.
Grading across a band of 11 categories — including a new look into head-coach job performance and willingness of club owners to invest in facilities — the report cards again focused an internal light on how players view the workplace inside their franchises. The union repeatedly stressed that the report cards are not perceived to have a correlation to wins and losses on the field.
