There are a lot of people on the outside who are not fans of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, but that doesn't mean his players don't love him.

ESPN senior writer Kalyn Kahler released details of the NFLPA's survey, including the report card grades for all 32 NFL teams. The Eagles' grades were shared as well, and they told a very interesting story about Sirianni.

NFLPA report cards were leaked with more on Eagles

The most noticeable thing about the report card grades is that Sirianni received an A, the second-highest grade to Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who got an A+. Even with talk of Sirianni being on the hot seat or the outside view that he does nothing for the team, the players seem to be telling a very different story.

Another noteworthy grade was former offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, receiving a C+, the only coach to get below an A-. Patullo had a rough season with the offense ranked in the bottom 15 in total offense, rushing, passing, and scoring, so it makes a lot of sense that the players were not high on him.

The worst grade on the report was the team travel, which got an F. Philly went 6-3 on the road last year, so it didn't affect their performance on the field much, but it was a telling sign that the Eagles could have played better if conditions for traveling were better.

Philly's locker room got a D on its grade, which might mean the positivity rabbit from late in the season did not do much to help it improve. That was the second lowest on the report card.

Everyone can keep criticizing Sirianni all they want, but he's got the players' support behind him.
