🚨 GREEN BAY PACKERS FALL IN NFLPA REPORT CARD: WHAT WENT WRONG FOR THE TEAM?👇

In a shocking drop, the Green Bay Packers saw a dramatic fall in the NFL Players Association’s annual report card, plummeting 14 spots from 7th place in 2025 to 21st in 2026. This marks the steepest year-over-year decline of any team, highlighting several areas of concern that have caused players to voice frustration with the franchise. While Green Bay has long been a strong contender in the NFC, the recent issues in training facilities, player respect, and family treatment suggest there’s a lot of work to be done.

Training Room Issues: A Top Priority for Improvement

One of the most significant factors driving the Packers’ fall in rankings is the decline in their training room and training staff ratings. Players have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of space and outdated recovery equipment, both crucial for maintaining player health throughout the grueling NFL season. The communication breakdown and lack of trust between the team’s training staff and players have also been flagged as top priorities to address. This issue has been compounded by a long history of injuries in Green Bay, and despite the hiring of strength and conditioning coordinator Aaron Hill in 2024, these concerns have yet to be resolved. Hill came to Green Bay from the San Francisco 49ers, where he was known for helping to lower injury rates. However, despite these high hopes, the Packers’ training facilities and practices are still ranked among the worst in the league.

Player Respect and Leadership Concerns

The Packers’ head coach, Matt LaFleur, also saw a sharp decline in his standing, dropping a full letter grade and ranking second to last in the league for player respect. This is particularly concerning given the team’s public support of LaFleur after their playoff loss. Many team leaders voiced their desire to retain him, which has led to confusion about the poor respect ratings. Players have expressed frustration with the lack of respect from LaFleur, which raises serious questions about the locker room dynamics and leadership within the team.

Family Treatment and Nutrition

In addition to issues with the training room and player respect, the Packers’ treatment of families is another area where they’ve ranked poorly. Unlike most other teams, Green Bay does not provide gameday childcare, a service that’s available at most other NFL teams. This issue has led to a bottom-third ranking in family treatment, which directly impacts players’ overall well-being and comfort, especially for those with young families.

The team’s nutrition program also ranks near the bottom, with players requesting improved nutrition plans and healthier food options to support their demanding athletic requirements. A strong nutrition program is key for maintaining energy and focus, and with this weakness, the Packers are not meeting the needs of their athletes.

Packers’ Declining Performance in the NFLPA Rankings

When it comes to player satisfaction, the Packers have seen a steady decline in recent years. From being ranked 9th in 2023 and 3rd in 2024, their drop to 21st in 2026 marks a dramatic shift in the relationship between the team’s management and its players. While Green Bay has built a reputation for being a competitive team, the recent drop in their rankings shows that off-field concerns may be starting to weigh heavily on their performance.

While the Packers are in the midst of revamping their training facilities and locker rooms, it remains to be seen whether these changes will result in an improvement in player satisfaction and, more importantly, on-field performance. The team must prioritize rebuilding trust and communication with players, especially in areas like training, leadership, and family support, if they are to regain their place among the league’s top teams.

The Path Forward for the Packers

The Packers have a long road ahead to improve their standing in the NFLPA report card. With the 2026 season quickly approaching, it’s critical for Green Bay’s management to address the issues that have surfaced, particularly in the training room, player respect, and family treatment. The addition of Hill was a step in the right direction, but the team’s overall infrastructure needs significant attention. If these issues are not addressed, Green Bay could continue to slide further down the rankings, both in terms of player satisfaction and competitive performance.

The Packers’ management will need to make sweeping changes to improve the team’s internal operations. With a talented roster, Green Bay still has the potential to be a serious contender in the NFC, but they will need to fix the off-field issues that are currently holding them back. Players are speaking out, and it’s time for the Packers to listen and take action.

In the coming months, all eyes will be on Green Bay to see if they can turn things around and start climbing the NFLPA rankings once again. The fate of the franchise may depend not just on their on-field success, but on their ability to address these critical off-field issues.
