The Patriots earned two failing grades in the NFL Players Association’s annual player team report card.

The Patriots, fresh off of a 4-13 record in 2023, ranked 29th out of 32 teams with their overall grade.

Here’s how the Patriots fared in each category last season:

Treatment of Families: F- (30th)
Food/Cafeteria: B- (15th)
Nutritionist/Dietician: B- (20th)
Locker Room: C- (20th)
Training Room: C (22nd)

Weight Room: F (32nd)
Strength Coaches: C- (31st)
Team Travel: D (24th)
Head Coach: B- (27th)

The Patriots ranked 24th in 2022.

The Patriots will be upgrading their weight room as part of the recent Gillette Stadium renovations, but players are not happy with their current setup, feeling the “weight room equipment is below average” and the space is not give enough. “The Patriots are the only team in the NFL with a majority of players feeling that their team’s facility is worse than places they could train offsite,” per the report card.

Former head coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft both ranked low. Only 55% of players felt that Belichick was efficient with their time. Players also felt that Belichick was unwilling to listen to them. Kraft received “a rating of 6.9/10 from Patriot players when considering his willingness to invest in the facilities.”

Players clearly had concerns about the treatment of their families, as well. They’re one of just 12 teams that don’t provide a family room during games, one of seven teams that don’t provide daycare support for players’ children on gameday and one of four teams that don’t offer either.

The Patriots’ food and cafeteria earned the team’s highest rank. They were 16th in both food taste and freshness.

Only 77% of players felt the Patriots’ locker room was big enough, but 93% felt they had enough room in their individual lockers.

The primary concern with the Patriots’ training room was that players felt treatment options were “outdated” and that the training room “lacks the equipment that players feel should be standard across the league.”

Some things could change with Jerod Mayo taking over for Bill Belichick as head coach, but it seems changes are needed in many areas around the facility.

Mayo’s brother, Deron Mayo, reportedly is expected to take over for Moses Cabrera as team’s head strength and conditioning coach after serving as an assisant in the role. The Patriots’ strength coaches ranked 31st with players feeling that the strength coaches “moderately contribute to their success.”
