Despite a down 2024 NFL season on the field, the 49ers' players appear to be relatively happy with how the organization performed off the field.
The NFL Players Association released its report cards from this season for the league's 32 teams, and the 49ers graded out well across the board.
2025 overall ranking: 8th
2024 overall ranking: 6th
"The 49ers ranked 8th overall, receiving high marks for ownership, coaching, strength staff, and their food program," the NFLPA wrote. "Players consistently point to the team’s strong culture as its greatest strength.
"While they do provide daycare, they are one of only two teams that charge players for the service. An area for improvement is offering this benefit free of charge, as most teams currently do."
