A recent survey conducted by the NFL Players Association shed light on the discrepancies between on-field success and workplace satisfaction among NFL teams. The survey, which was completed by 1,706 NFL players, evaluated various aspects of the league's 32 teams including facilities, training staff, head coaches, food, ownership, and treatment of players' families.

The findings of the survey placed the Miami Dolphins at the top spot overall, followed closely by the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams were highlighted for their exceptional standards in running a world-class NFL workplace. Notably, the Kansas City Chiefs, despite winning back-to-back Super Bowls, ranked 31st in the survey due to player dissatisfaction with the facilities.

Players praised head coach Andy Reid but expressed frustration with the club's owner, Clark Hunt, for what was perceived as a lack of investment in player facilities. However, the Chiefs recently announced plans to renovate Arrowhead Stadium ahead of hosting World Cup matches in 2026.

The Washington Commanders were ranked as the worst team for the second consecutive year, even with new ownership under Josh Harris. While players appreciated the leadership of the new owners, the team struggled in various categories, including the condition of the locker room.

The survey also highlighted improvements made by teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, who rose to fifth place after addressing facility issues. In contrast, teams such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals faced criticism for charging players for accommodations and providing limited meals, respectively.

The NFL expressed its appreciation for the feedback provided by the players, emphasizing the importance of player input in enhancing the overall NFL experience. The league looks forward to reviewing the survey data presented by the NFLPA for further insights.
