For the third consecutive year, the Baltimore Ravens have improved their standing in the annual NFLPA report card, rising to 12th place in the 2026 edition. The team's owner, Steve Bisciotti, has made player treatment and facilities a priority, leading to steady progress from a surprisingly low 17th-place finish in the inaugural 2023 report.

Why it matters

The NFLPA report card provides valuable insight into how NFL players view the working conditions, resources, and treatment provided by each franchise. A high ranking signals that the Ravens are successfully creating an environment that supports player health, wellness, and professional development - key factors in attracting and retaining top talent.

The details

Baltimore's 2026 report card features a mix of strong and average grades across various categories, including an A+ for team ownership, A- for the general manager, and B+ marks for the defensive and special teams coordinators. The team's coaching staff, which will see significant turnover in 2026, received mostly B-level grades, an area the new hires will look to improve.

  • In 2024, the team moved up to 15th place.
  • Baltimore continued its progress, rising to 13th in 2025.
