"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."
"Early in his run with Denver, when he was a scout, the Broncos scored some major draft hits. Players like Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas on offense, and Von Miller and Malik Jackson on defense, helped the AFC West club win a Super Bowl. But the 2014 and 2015 drafts, when Peters was serving as assistant director of college scouting, were busts."
Adam Peters spent 15 years rising through personnel roles with the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers. The franchises he worked for made nine playoff trips and four Super Bowl appearances. Peters progressed from scout to director of college scouting in Denver and from director of player personnel to assistant general manager in San Francisco. Those teams produced high-impact draft picks, including Demaryius Thomas, Von Miller, Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel Sr., George Kittle and Brock Purdy. The 2014 and 2015 Denver drafts underperformed, contrasting with later successful selections. Peters now holds final decision-making authority over the Washington Commanders' draft room. Commanders' roster construction has hit a massive roadblock this season.
