Jessie Bates III, now with the Atlanta Falcons, finds a family-friendly environment after games, a stark contrast to his time with the Cincinnati Bengals, who scored an F-minus for family treatment in an NFLPA survey. Bates highlights the importance of supportive amenities for players' families, which the Falcons excel at, receiving an A in the same survey. In contrast, Bengals players lament the lack of suitable facilities, citing cold outdoor areas and long waits for basic necessities like bathrooms and food. This has implications for players' peace of mind and overall happiness.

The importance of family treatment is increasingly recognized in free agency, with players like Ryan Kelly noting that a team's support for families influences their decisions significantly. Having family-friendly amenities can enhance player morale and potentially lead to greater success on the field. This trend is exemplified by the Minnesota Vikings, who actively engage with players' families to ease logistical burdens during game days, showcasing a commitment to player welfare that resonates deeply in a player's overall satisfaction.
