Overview

  • ESPN published the full 2026 NFLPA team grades on Thursday from anonymous player surveys conducted Nov. 2–Dec. 11, 2025, with 1,759 respondents.
  • The overall rankings place Miami first, followed by Minnesota and Washington, with Cleveland 30th, Arizona 31st and Pittsburgh 32nd.
  • A new “home field” category debuted, with the Steelers’ Acrisure Stadium rated worst by a wide margin, while Miami drew praise for its natural grass, ranking fourth.
  • Player feedback on Pittsburgh cited poor facilities, an F locker room with only five bathroom stalls and owner Art Rooney II ranking last for willingness to invest, even as the training staff ranked first.
  • Both the NFL and NFLPA declined comment; the league said it had no knowledge of this year’s results, and the union has said it will continue collecting surveys internally despite the publication ban.
