Raiders Owner Mark Davis Continues to Prove Outsiders Wrong

Each offseason, players from each National Football League team anonomously vote on everything from the quality of the food the team serves at their facilities to how their families are treated. It is a open and honest report card from the players on their respective teams.

Players submit their answers to the NFL Players' Association, knowing they can respond freely without concerns of pushback from their team. The annual surveys allow players to speak their minds and sometimes create change within an organization.

The Raiders' results were overwhelmingly positive despite their 4-13 campaign. Robert Zeglinski of USA TODAY recently released his list of the seven biggest revelations from the NFLPA's report cards each team gets during the offseason, including the Raiders' grades.

Zeglinski listed that the Raiders players gave owner Mark Davis such a positive grade, proving that perception is not always reality. Davis often takes criticism from those outside the organization looking in, but the Raiders' report suggests those critiques may be unfair.

"Here, again, we have another example of the outside noise not matching what happens behind the scenes. Ask any regularly dialed-in NFL observer about Raiders owner Mark Davis, and they will probably say he's a bumbling product of nepotism with a bowl haircut fit for a 10-year-old child, not a 69-year-old adult man," Zeglinski said.
