The largest jump year-to-date for Broncos players was in nutrition. Denver hired a new dietician, and nearly every player felt they were receiving an individualized plan — 97%.
The NFLPA noted that the treatment of families was the Broncos’ lowest score at a D+. The survey noted the score was due to not having a family room at Empower Field at Mile High and not providing daycare on gamedays.
It is important to note that the Walton/Penner Group announced in late 2023 that they would break ground on a new state-of-the-art team facility that is scheduled to open in time for the 2026 season.
The $175 million building should help raise the scores for the locker room and individualized workout plans.
The NFLPA also reported that there were multiple cars stolen from the parking lot at the mandated team hotel during training camp.
This is the second season the NFLPA released grades. Denver ranked 20th in 2023.
