Overview
The New York Giants finish the year ranked 8th overall. The first item that deserves recognition is the work by the team's training staff, as players gave high marks to long-time head trainer Ronnie Barnes, with 96% of players responding that they receive an adequate amount of one-on-one treatment time, which ranks 1st in the NFL. The players were also complimentary of their strength staff, whom they felt made it a point coming out of last year's survey to work more collaboratively with the players this season.

There are two categories the players feel need to be upgraded: the first is the locker room, and the second is a better playing surface at the stadium, as Giants players almost unanimously responded that they do not like playing on the synthetic surface, in line with our 92% number league-wide. Responding players commented that they believe the surface puts them at additional risk of injury.

Ronnie Barnes got high marks again.  That's the problem when you are dealing with medical issues with people who lack the knowledge and expertise.   Charming and likable trumps competent because the players lack the medical knowledge to know better.

It seems the NFL is not 100% on board with the players in terms of the quality of the survey.

[MightyGiants]

In terms of these grades resulting in success

the Champion Chiefs ranked 31st

Their SB opponents 49ers ranked 6th

The Ravens ranked 15th

The Lions ranked 13th


In terms of bad teams

The Panthers ranked 17th

The Commanders ranked 32nd

The Pats ranked 29th


There seems to be more correlation to poor teams ranking poorly than high marks resulting in success
