On paper, it’s hard to imagine anyone having a better claim on assuming leadership of an NFL team’s draft room than Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters.
He served two long apprenticeships with quality organizations. Beginning in 2009, Peters served as a scout with the Denver Broncos for five years before being promoted to director of college scouting. Then, with the San Francisco 49ers, he went from director of player personnel to assistant general manager, before being hired by Washington.
In those 15 years, the franchises Peters worked for made nine playoff trips and four Super Bowl appearances.
