Vikings rank 1st in inaugural NFLPA team report card

In the first-ever NFLPA team report card, the Vikings finished with a 4.0

For the first time, the NFL Player’s Association released their team report cards on Wednesday.

The report cards polled 1,300 players, who provided information about their current teams. According to the press release, the NFLPA’s goals “were to highlight positive clubs, identify areas that could use improvement, and highlight best practices and standards.”

NFL teams were graded on eight categories with a grading range of F to A+. The eight categories included: treatment of families, nutrition, weight room, strength staff, training room, locker room, and travel.

The Minnesota Vikings were the valedictorians of the survey, finishing first among all 32 NFL franchises.

The report card mentioned that all players felt like owner Zygi Wilf is willing to spend money to upgrade their facilities. It also called Kevin O’Connell “one of the most player-friendly coaches.”

The overview finished saying that the Vikings “are a shining example of what is possible when a concerted investment is made in both staffing and facilities.”

Here is how the Vikings graded out in each category.
