After finishing dead last in the 2025 NFLPA report cards, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ full list of grades has been leaked. They aren’t any prettier.

While the NFLPA banned report cards from being made public, they were still conducted privately. So it’s no shock to see them leaked. ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler, who wrote up the original story that placed Pittsburgh 32nd, shared the complete breakdown of grades.

Next to each grade is where the Steelers ranked league-wide.

Treatment of Families: F (31st)
Home Game Field: F- (tied-last)
Food/Dining Area: B- (tied-23rd)
Nutritionist/Dietician: B (tied-23rd)
Locker Room: F- (tied-last)
Training Room: C (tied-24th)
Training Staff: B+ (tied-16th)
Weight Room: B (tied-24th)
Strength Coaches: B- (tied-last)
Position Coaches: B (tied-15th)
Offensive Coordinator: B+ (tied-14th)
Defensive Coordinator: C (tied-29th)
Special Teams Coordinator: A- (tied-8th)
Team Travel: F (tied-last)
Head Coach: A (tied-third)
General Manager: C+ (tied-29th)
Team Ownership: D- (31st)

We’ve updated the post to show the rankings for each group. Needless to say, it isn’t pretty. Pittsburgh received an F, or worse, in the following categories: Treatment of Families, Home Game Field, Locker Room, and Team Travel. Incredibly, the locker room received an F-minus, tying the Arizona Cardinals as the league’s worst.

Players panned Pittsburgh for a lack of space and amenities in the locker room. The Steelers have a small space and a facility without modern equipment like others. Players who have left noted the contrast, including RB Najee Harris, who seemed wowed by the Los Angeles Chargers’ facility after signing with the team last offseason.

While Pittsburgh received a comparatively better B-minus in strength coach, it tied for the worst grade in the NFL. Only the Arizona Cardinals also received a B-minus. Hired ahead of the 2024 season, Phil Matusz received bad grades from players in both years. Fans mocked him when QB Russell Wilson injured his calf during the team’s conditioning test ahead of 2024’s training camp. Wilson wouldn’t start until midseason because of it.

Under Mike McCarthy, Matusz was replaced by Mark Lovat, who held the lead S&C role under McCarthy in Green Bay.

Though both departed, the grades on Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin are worth noting. Smith received a solid B-plus, while Austin holds a much worse C-grade.

Mike Tomlin continued to be a bright spot, receiving an A. Danny Smith also ranked in the top ten. Neither is still with the team. Tomlin resigned while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired Smith as their new special teams coordinator.

General manager Omar Khan also scored poorly, tied 29th across the NFL. Only the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants had worse grades.

Owner Art Rooney II received a D-minus. Only the Cardinals’ Michael Bidwill had a worse grade, getting an F from players. Owners (Rooney potentially one of them) who may have been happy that the grades were shuttered publicly, are still taking the bad PR hit with the full results being made public.
