New York Jets
Overall Ranking
Overview
The New York Jets dropped from 21st last year to 29th overall this season. Rather than addressing concerns, players believed that management responded to feedback by making conditions worse. For example, after receiving low grades for their food program last year, players felt the team cut the food budget and did not retain their long-time dietitian, who was previously their highest-rated staff member. Notably, that former dietitian took a full-time role with the Kansas City Chiefs, contributing to significant improvements in their food program and dietitian grades.
Unsurprisingly, when asked what needs the most improvement, players overwhelmingly point to the food program, although they are complimentary of their new dietitian. They also cite perceived top leadership issues, with some describing issues as “top-down problems.” The Jets' ownership grade dropped from a B- to an F, with Woody Johnson receiving the league’s lowest owner score for contributing to a positive team culture.
