Ninety-two percent of NFL players prefer grass fields over turf surfaces, per NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell, who relayed the findings during an NFLPA news conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
"It's really basic," Howell said, per ESPN's Paul Gutierrez. "It's not rocket science. Ninety-two percent of our union wants grass. That's compelling. The bottom line is, it's unquestionable that our union wants to have a working condition where they play on grass."
Roughly 1,700 players voted in the poll, per Howell (h/t The MMQB's Albert Breer). The outliers were kickers, who preferred turf.
