Report: Dolphins rank 1st in NFLPA survey; Steelers get worst grade

The Miami Dolphins once again earned the top spot in the NFL Players Association annual report cards, while the Pittsburgh Steelers ranked last for the first time, according to survey results obtained by ESPN's Kalyn Kahler.

This marks the third straight year the Dolphins have been recognized as the league's best in the union's survey. The Minnesota Vikings and Washington Commanders reportedly followed in second and third, respectively.

According to Kahler, the Cleveland Browns and Arizona Cardinals placed just ahead of the Steelers at 30th and 31st, respectively.

Pittsburgh apparently received low grades in several categories.

Steelers owner Art Rooney ranked last in willingness to invest in facilities, adds Kahler. Players reportedly criticised persistent issues with the field at Acrisure Stadium, citing poor maintenance and excessive wear from frequent non-NFL football events. The survey also notes that Pittsburgh's locker room has "only five bathroom stalls," per Kahler.

These report cards were made public in previous years, but the NFL won a grievance against the players' union in February that banned their release after an arbitrator determined it violated the collective bargaining agreement.
