ESPN had further information<\/a> regarding the fourth survey, which polled 1,759 players, including noting that the Miami Dolphins received the highest grades, while the Pittsburgh Steelers were ranked at the very bottom.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 49ers’ grades show high marks in several categories but room for improvement in a few areas, including the training room and training staff, which both received higher marks after the 2024 season<\/a>:\u00a0<\/p>\n Treatment of families: B+ The NFLPA had previously made the survey results public, but the league filed a grievance in November and won, forcing the union to keep the results private. Clearly, the ruling did not prevent the information from going public.<\/p>\n
