Report Card 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Overall Ranking
Overview
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ranked 27th, with their highest-rated categories attributed to people rather than physical facilities. When asked what the team does best, players consistently highlighted the support staff and strength coaches, who earned an A grade this year.
The team improved its treatment of players' families grade from an F to a C-, likely due to the decision to stop charging players for daycare during games.
However, several areas still need improvement. Players want better food quality and more variety in the cafeteria. Another major concern is locker room cleanliness—44% of players report ongoing plumbing issues, and persistent bad odors remain a problem.
