The NFLPA released a report card for all 32 NFL teams yesterday. The report card was to gauge how happy players were with certain areas of each franchise. The responses were all anonymous and 1,300 players around the league participated. That number may seem low to some, but in reality, that's 77% of the league's 53-man rosters. Unfortunately for the Chicago Bears, the team struggled in some key areas, giving them an overall ranking of 13th in the league. I guess they can hang their hat on the fact it's a little better than average.
""Our goals were to highlight positive clubs, identify areas that could use improvement, and highlight best practices and standards. The results allow players to share with one another about their current club, to not only help them make important career decisions but also help raise standards across the league.""JC Tretter, NFLPA President
The Chicago Bears did well in most areas, but really struggled in key areas
When we look at the Chicago Bears report card, the team received high praise in many areas around the strength training and conditioning staff. Of course, the new Halas Hall facility received high grades as well. I cannot imagine what the scores would have been prior to the new facility being built.
