The Detroit Lions just got their NFLPA report card, and here’s the scoop on how the team measures up across various categories. It’s pretty clear where they’re excelling, and where there’s room for improvement.
Family Treatment: Players are mostly happy with the family setup, with a solid B grade (13th in the league). They love the post-game family area and the daycare service, but the family events could be more frequent (ranked 25th).
Food & Dining: The Lions’ food gets a B- (19th), with players liking the taste and freshness but still wanting more variety. Dining areas have improved dramatically from last year, but there’s still some work to do.
Nutrition/Dietician: The Lions’ nutrition program is decent with a B grade (23rd). While 70% of players have personalized nutrition plans, it could be more tailored overall.
Locker Room: A C+ (18th) here, with some players feeling cramped. There’s enough space for most, but it’s clear the locker room isn’t a standout.
Training Room: The Lions get a solid B+ (9th). The team’s got plenty of trainers, and most players feel well-supported, though the hot and cold tubs could use some more space.
Strength Coaches: A- (16th) for their strength staff, with most players feeling the individualized plans are solid. Still, some think there’s room for improvement in how the coaches impact overall success.
Team Travel: The Lions score a B+ (12th) for their travel setup. Players enjoy good personal space on flights, and the travel schedule is considered efficient.
Head Coach: Here’s where the Lions really shine—Dan Campbell gets an A+ (5th) for his leadership. Players unanimously love his time management skills and his willingness to listen to feedback.
Ownership: Sheila Ford Hamp earns a B+ (14th). Players feel she’s invested in improving facilities and building a competitive team, but there’s room for more team culture contribution.
Overall, the Lions are doing pretty well, with strong leadership and decent facilities, though there are still some areas—like food variety and locker room space—that could use a little more attention.
