DESPITE winning the Super Bowl less than a month ago, Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has been rated the worst in the NFL.
Each year the NFLPA conducts a study among players to give each NFL team a report card.

For the 2023 season, 1,706 players, 77 percent of the players in the league, gave grades about their teams' working conditions.
The team report card is very important to players, with NFL legend JJ Watt sharing on Twitter that it was something most players wouldn't ignore.
"In meetings when they hand out voting sheets for Pro Bowl, Top 100, etc. We’ve seen many toss it in the trash, put down only friends names, make a rookie fill it out, etc," Watt said.
"The two I’ve seen taken most seriously: Team Captains (obviously), NFLPA Ownership/Facility Report Card."
Notably, the Chiefs were the second-worst graded team at No. 31.
They were given Fs for nutrition, locker room, and training staff. They also earned Ds for treatment of facilities, training room, and team travel.
For the first time this year, players were given the opportunity to rank their head coaches and owners as well as team facilities.
While Andy Reid earned an A+ from his players, being ranked as the top head coach in the NFL, Hunt was given an F- and ranked dead last in the league.
According to NFLPA president JC Trettor, Chiefs players had concerns about Hunt not keeping promises.
He reportedly promised to renovate the locker room after the 2022 NFL season, but when players returned after winning the Super Bowl there were only new chairs.
Players were reportedly told they "went too far in the playoffs" to have time for a renovation.
Hunt was pressed about his rating on Wednesday which he addressed some of the complaints from his players.
"The practice facility is certainly a high priority for us," he said.
The Steelers faced a similar situation with head coach Mike Tomlin being rated the No. 5 head coach but owner Art Rooney II being rated the second-worst in football.
