Green Bay Packers tank in NFLPA report card rankings

The NFL recently sued the NFLPA to keep their report cards from being published to the public, but since the lawsuit, the NFLPA has stated that they will continue to run their report cards, distribute them among the union and not publish their findings on their website. That doesn’t prevent union members from leaking this information to the press, though.

On Thursday, Cheesehead TV’s Aaron Nagler was able to acquire some of the report card notes on the Green Bay Packers. Here’s what was shared:

The Green Bay Packers fell 14 spots, to 21st overall in this year’s Report Card – the steepest year-over-year decline of any team. The drop is driven largely by the decline in ratings for the training room and training staff, which now rank in the bottom third of the league. Players report a lack of space and outdated recovery equipment, along with a lack of communication and trust in the training room. These issues are a top priority players identify to be addressed.

Players report that the team does not provide gameday childcare, as most teams do, contributing to their bottom-third ranking for treatment of families. The team’s nutrition program similarly ranks near the bottom, with players wanting improved nutrition plans and more nutritious food options to better support these plans. Head coach Matt LaFleur dropped a full letter grade this season and ranks second to last in the league in respect for players.

As Nagler noted on Twitter, the Packers are currently redoing their training room, but it’s still not a great sign that the combined room and staff ranks near the bottom of the league. Green Bay fans have long complained about the team’s injury situation for years now, but there was hope that the hiring of strength and conditioning coordinator Aaron Hill in 2024 would change their fortunes. Hill came to Green Bay via the San Francisco 49ers, where he was a strength and conditioning assistant for five seasons. Over those five seasons, here’s how the 49ers ranked in terms of injury impact: 6th, 1st, 3rd, 9th and then 29th.

Since Kyle Shanahan, Matt LaFleur’s good friend, took over the 49ers, San Francisco has been the most injured team in the NFL. After their one healthy season, Green Bay hired away a 49ers assistant to lead their strength and conditioning program.

Beyond the training room, it’s interesting to me that LaFleur “ranks second to last in the league in respect for players,” considering how many team leaders spoke up and stated that they wanted the club to retain LaFleur after the team’s playoff loss.

Either way, a historic drop in the NFLPA’s rankings is not a great look for the Packers, who generally rank high on the list. Here’s Green Bay’s history on the report card:

  • 2023: 9th
  • 2024: 3rd
  • 2025: 7th
  • 2026: 21st

As a reminder, these surveys were open from November 2nd to December 11th last year, so the Packers were between 5-2-1 and 9-3-1 at the time. After the surveys closed, Green Bay lost five straight games to end the year.
