Abstract

This Tableau dashboard examines how the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) Report Card grades from 2023–2025 relate to on‑field outcomes; focusing on wins, injury statistics, and core performance metrics such as passing, rushing, and point differential. By integrating player‑evaluated organizational quality that covers areas like training, nutrition, and overall support—with traditional football statistics, the analysis explores whether teams that invest more effectively in player experience also demonstrate stronger competitive results.

Visual comparisons highlight patterns in how high‑graded teams differ from low‑graded teams in both performance and injury trends, offering insight into whether organizational culture and infrastructure translate into measurable advantages on the field. The dashboard provides an interactive framework for assessing how player treatment, team success, and health outcomes intersect across three NFL seasons.
