Why Patriots Players Ranked Robert Kraft Among Worst Owners In NFLPA Survey

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft ranked among the league’s worst in the annual NFLPA survey published Wednesday.

Patriots players gave ownership a D+, which ranked 27th out of 32 teams.

Their reasoning was due to the fact players felt Kraft was unwilling to invest in the facilities at One Patriot Place. Kraft received a rating of 6.9/10 when “considering his willingness to invest in the facilities,” per the report card.

Only Kansas City Chiefs’ Clark Hunt (F-), Pittsburgh Steelers’ Art Rooney (F), Arizona Cardinals’ Michael Bidwill (F), Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Joel Glazer (D-) and Carolina Panthers’ David Tepper (D) received worse ownership grades than Kraft. The Washington Commanders, who received the worst overall grade in 2022, gave new owner Josh Harris a “B.”

In total, the Patriots ranked 29th among the 32 teams. Their grade included responses to 11 different categories with “treatment of families” responsible for their worst individual mark (F-).

New England ranked 24th in the survey last season. The ownership category did not exist at that time with three new categories being added this year.
