New Orleans Saints Report Card | NFLPA : Grades And Rankings For Head Coach, Ownership, Facilities, Food, And Treatment Of Families
According to the recent NFL Player Team Report Card 2024 by the NFLPA on the New Orleans Saints, the team dropped from No. 10 (2023) to No. 19. The players rated the club's facilities and staff quality well. Still, for a second consecutive year, the food received low marks, and the treatment of families has much to be desired.
The report states, "the issue stems from lack of communication between the club and players' families" regarding services and information. New Orleans still needs to offer three meals daily for the players at the facility. Also, the food choices need to be "healthier and fresher," which is disappointing coming from a city that thrives on its reputation for food service and hospitality.
