How Robert Kraft plans to fix Patriots’ low marks in NFLPA report card

Owner Robert Kraft is taking the Patriots’ low marks on their annual NFLPA report card seriously.

The Patriots scored low in their treatment of families (F-) for their lack of a gameday daycare, weight room (F) and ownership (D+). Kraft addressed the report card for the first time Tuesday at the NFL Annual Meeting.

“I must tell you, I was unaware of how bad that was,” Kraft said. “We’ve had a plan that we put in place where we’re committing to a whole new facility adjacent to ours. That has been discussed with the leadership team and a building that will be in excess of $50 million. We have to correct everything. I was not aware of the daycare issue. I mean, that’s something that’s fixable. The players are the heart and soul of the business. I’d be very surprised if that didn’t improve. That was done during the fifth week of the season.”

The Patriots didn’t rank above 15th in the league in any category. They received a D in team travel, a C- in locker room and strength coaches and a C in training room. Their highest marks were in food/cafeteria, nutritionist/dietician and head coach, all B-minuses.
