The NFLPA’s report cards are no longer released by the association, but ESPN’s Kayln Kahler acquired the full results for 2026, and the Green Bay Packers took a big tumble coming out of the 2025 season.
After finishing seventh in 2025, third in 2024 and sixth in 2023, the Packers fell all the way to 21st in 2026, with knocks against the training department, head coach and offensive coordinator creating the steep decline.
This year, over 1,700 players from across the NFL contributed to the report cards, which give players the chance to grade teams on a variety of factors, and the survey was conducted between Nov. 2 and Dec. 11 — before the Packers’ season fell apart. The NFLPA also added several categories, broadening the report card’s scope and providing a better overall picture of the 32 teams.
Some additional context from Aaron Nagler on the Packers’ report:
In most cases, grades across most teams in specific categories are similar and not exactly notable. It is the outlier grades that are the important ones, and the Packers have several — mostly on the negative side.

Not providing daycare for families during home games remains an issue in Green Bay.
Home game field2026 grade: C+2025 grade: N/A
Lambeau Field is revered, but the playing surface is unpredictable and often slippery.
Food/dining area2026 grade: B+2025 grade: A-
Players wanted more nutritious options at the facility. The Packers ranked sixth in this category last season.
Nutritionist/dietician2026 grade: B2025 grade: A-
A big drop here. The Packers ranked seventh in this category last season but now rank among the bottom third.
Locker room2026 grade: A2025 grade: B
The Packers completely upgraded the locker rooms at Lambeau Field ahead of the 2025 season, creating a big improvement.
Training room2026 grade: C2025 grade: A-
Another huge drop. “Outdated” equipment and a “lack of space” were to blame. The Packers are upgrading the training facilities at Lambeau Field this offseason.
Training staff2026 grade: C2025 grade: B
A “lack of trust” drove this poor ranking. Not great coming off a season in which many players suffered big injuries. Players saw the training space and training staff as the top priorities needing to be addressed.
Weight room2026 grade: A-2025 grade: AStrength coaches2026 grade: B2025 grade: B

Position coaches2026 grade: B+2025 grade: N/A
The Packers are middle of the pack here.
Offensive coordinator
Adam Stenavich was one of eight offensive coordinators to get a C grade or worse. The other seven were fired.
Defensive coordinator
Jeff Hafley, who left to become the Dolphins head coach, was a highly respected assistant coach in Green Bay. For what’s it worth, Jonathan Gannon got a B+ in the head coach grades.
Special teams coordinator
Rich Bisaccia was well-received among players, and his B+ grade ranked in the middle of the pack.
Team travel2026 grade: B-2025 grade: A-
A lot of complaints here league wide. Only 12 teams graded out higher than a B-, but the Packers did have a big fall in grade.
Head coach2026 grade: B-2025 grade: A-
Maybe the most alarming drop. Only six head coaches graded out worse than a B, and LaFleur was one. Four of the five other were fired. LaFleur got an extension. Interestingly enough, many veteran players stood up for LaFleur publicly after the disappointing end to the season.
General manager
A B+ grade for Brian Gutekunst put him in the bottom half of general managers. Like LaFleur, he also got an extension.
Team ownership2026 grade: A-2025 grade: A-
This grade stayed steady through the transition from Mark Murphy, who retired, to Ed Policy, who went through his first season in 2025.
