Patriots Ranked 31st in NFLPA Team Report Cards Amid Facility Criticism

The New England Patriots have faced severe criticism in the NFLPA's 2025 Team Report Cards, ranking 31st out of 32 teams, mainly due to poor facilities and inadequate team travel arrangements. Owner Robert Kraft received a D grade, being criticized for his lack of investment in facilities, contributing to a poor team culture, and commitment to competitiveness, ranking 29th among owners. The team's weight room was rated the worst in the NFL, and the team plane was criticized for being outdated and not conducive to athletic preparedness. However, Kraft has announced a $50 million investment in a new training facility, expected to open in 2026, which could potentially improve future grades. Additionally, improvements were made in the treatment of players' families, which saw better results compared to last year. Despite these issues, the Patriots' coaching staff received better evaluations, with former head coach Jerod Mayo receiving a B+ grade.
