2025 NFL Team Demographics

Thanks to everyone who supported in the team writeups, we have the data* to see where teams stack up from best to worst in terms of giving White athletes the opportunity in the NFL. To rank them, I'm assigning 2 points for each starter and 1 point per reserve, as I feel a starter should be weighted more heavily than a seldom used backup. The league average came to 20 points for a benchmark number. The average in 2024 was 20 and 19 in 2023 for reference:

Indianapolis Colts#, 18.5 (9): 27.5 [+2.5]
Buffalo Bills#, 18 (8): 26 [+5]
Detroit Lions, 17 (8): 25 [-4]
Jacksonville Jaguars#, 18.5 (6.5): 25 [+7]
Los Angeles Rams, 19 (6): 25 [-5.5]
Pittsburgh Steelers, 19 (6): 25 [+9]
Cincinnati Bengals, 17 (7): 24 [-4]
Philadelphia Eagles##, 17 (7): 24 [+3]
Seattle Seahawks#, 19 (5): 24 [+12]

Run of the Mill Caste Squads

Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 17 (6): 23 [-2]
Las Vegas Raiders, 16.5 (5): 21.5 [-4.5]
Kansas City Chiefs, 16 (5): 21 [-6]
Cleveland Browns, 12 (7): 19 [+8]
New York Giants#, 13 (6): 19 [---]
Los Angeles Chargers#, 12 (6): 18 [-6]
New England Patriots, 13 (5): 18 [+7]
Atlanta Falcons, 13 (4): 17 [-4]
Baltimore Ravens, 12 (5): 17 [-1]
Chicago Bears, 14 (3): 17 [+5]
Washington Redskins, 13 (3): 16 [-6]

Worst of the Worst ("Ultra Black")

New York Jets, 11.5 (3.5): 15 [+0.5]
New Orleans Saints, 12 (3): 15 [-8]
Tennessee Titans, 12 (3): 15 [-1]
Arizona Cardinals, 10 (4): 14 [-2.5]
Carolina Panthers#, 11 (3): 14 [---]
Dallas Cowboys, 11 (3): 14 [-3]
Houston Texans, 11 (2): 13 [+3]
Green Bay Packers, 10 (1): 11 [---]
Miami Dolphins, 10 (1): 11 [-4]

*rosters and starters subject to change since their write-ups
[___] indicates their increase or decrease from last year
# indicates a team with a starting White RB, WR, S or CB due to rarity

So my brief analysis is not too much difference from last season, with the mean average remaining the same. Certainly some teams took big leaps in the right direction (Seahawks, Steelers, Jaguars, Browns, Patriots and 49ers), while others took a big step back (Saints, Redskins, Chargers and Chiefs).

Looking at the records of the dregs of the league, they are not doing so well again record-wise:
New Orleans Saints 0-4
New York Jets 0-4
Tennessee Titans 0-4
Arizona Cardinals 2-2
Carolina Panthers 1-3
Dallas Cowboys 1-2-1
Houston Texans 1-3
Green Bay Packers 2-1-1
Miami Dolphins 1-3

Conversely, the cream of the crop teams do not have a losing record amongst them!

Great work again, Freethinker! Houston's already rapidly becoming a non-playoff team, I'd really like to see the Packers decline. Even if they don't they've probably plateaued with last year their best season.

Great work, Freethinker! I’m so glad to have contributed to it by doing some write-ups. Given that I’m prone to loquaciousness, I could type out a tome on this, but I’ll keep it real short. I’m sure everyone can see how the teams with more White players have better records, at least for the time being. That’s the whole essence of the case to me.

basically bet on the teams in the top tier and bet against the bottom tier

I think the most important point to this is that there is very rarely a truly bad team that is also one of the Whitest in its respective league. Even if a team isn't the top team talent wise the floor will be much higher than other teams in my opinion, which helps prevent an all out collapse. I don't know the most about the NFL, but has there ever been an awful team that was significantly Whiter than average? There are none that are obvious off the top of my head. I know the Eagles weren't the best the year Chip Kelly got fired and that they were the Whitest team, but they still only went like 7-9, which isn't bad.

Haha, I wouldn't tell anyone how to bet. Just use the data how you feel fit.

This year the amount of White players and winning records seems to correlate even greater than usual. It got me interested to see the records for each tier. Note that I moved the 15 point Saints and Titans down to the bottom ultra black tier because they basically are. It also helped to balance the 3 tiers.

Cream of the Crop: 35-13
Run of the Mill: 20-24
Worst of the Worst: 8-26-2

What a stark contrast!!

Good move with the Titans and Saints, they belong with the "ultras."

The correlation is very strong this year so far, with teams and with quarterbacks when it comes to wins and losses. But it's always relative with the NFL; Whites are still very under-represented on even the "whitest" teams.

The best way to put it is that the Whitest NFL teams are still only relatively White-friendly.

Great point about White friendly being relative. The "darkest" MLB teams almost certainly have a higher percentage of White players on the roster compared to the Whitest NFL teams. When is the last time an NFL team has had 11 or more Whites starting and/or at least 27 Whites on the 53 man roster? I don't even think the great Patriots teams achieved this mark thanks to the lack of representation on defense.

It's always kind of amusing to see a term like "relatively White friendly" that I've written countless times since starting Caste Football, used by someone else as if it's brand new. But not knocking it, repetition engaged in strategically is a good thing.

Yes, good point that we should always remember that this is all within the confines of what the Caste System allows. This year its 19% to 40% White teams. We are here fighting this systemic discrimination so that someday the 40% White teams are the 'ultra black' tier.

Another point I was just thinking about is the magical 20% number in almost every draft. I went back and checked the thread and that's what it was again for 2025. 20% of a 53 man roster is only 10 or 11 White athletes. Only 7 of the worst 32 NFL teams are actually in line with the draft percentages. Teams like San Fran, Minnesota and Denver buck the trend by 20 percentage points or 10 additional White athletes on the roster. So this again confirms what we've always noted. Alot more Whites end up making the teams through the UDFA route. It also shows that many of the 80% of blacks drafted are busts, who just get cycled through year after year. The Whites that are drafted are therefore much more likely to stick and contribute to the majority of NFL team rosters who have a higher White percentage than 20% figure.

I guess to summarize, you get a much better return on investment drafting or bringing in Whites as UDFAs. Maybe obvious to us, but helpful to have these numbers to show to lurkers, normies or DWFs. Not only do these White players "overachieve" their draft percentages, they help their teams "overachieve" the win totals of the teams sticking to the most rigid of Caste parameters.
