The Pittsburgh Steelers and team president/owner Art Rooney II didn’t fare very well in the most recent NFLPA survey. The Steelers had one of the worst team grades in the NFL from the players perspective, and Rooney was one of the worst-ranked owners in the sport.
For the first time since the release of the NFLPA survey in late February, Rooney had a chance to address the survey results. Speaking with reporters Tuesday from the NFL Owners Meetings in Orlando, Rooney pushed back on the survey results some, stating that he views the survey as more of a media opportunity for the NFLPA than constructive criticism to teams, adding that he prefers direct feedback from the players rather than the anonymous survey, according to a tweet from The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly.
