Frederick Adam Peters (born May 24, 1979) is an American professional football executive who is the general manager (GM) for the Washington Commanders of the National Football League (NFL). His NFL career began as a scout with the New England Patriots in 2003, spending six seasons with them before joining the Denver Broncos in 2009. He worked as the Broncos' college scouting director for three seasons prior to joining the San Francisco 49ers in 2017, working closely with general manager John Lynch as the team's vice president of player personnel and later assistant GM before being named Commanders GM in 2024. Peters has been a part of three Super Bowl-winning teams during his career. He played college football as a tight end at West Valley College and as a defensive end at UCLA.




Early life


Frederick Adam Peters was born on May 24, 1979, in Mountain View, California, and raised in nearby Cupertino. He attended Monta Vista High School, earning all-conference honors in football (tight end) and baseball (left fielder and first baseman) before enrolling at West Valley College, a junior college in Saratoga, California, in 1997. He was a tight end and team captain for their football team, earning two All-Coast Conference honors before transferring to the University of California, Los Angeles in 1999 to play for the UCLA Bruins as a reserve defensive end. Peters decided to stop playing football midway through his time at UCLA, citing teammates such as DeShaun Foster as being "bigger, stronger, faster, and better" than him in everything. He graduated with a psychology degree in 2002, working as a graduate assistant in football operations with the Bruins as a way to remain in the sport.




Career

Peters' career began following a visit by New England Patriots executives Scott Pioli and Jason Licht to UCLA in 2002. Peters, substituting for his boss who was out of town, provided them film and other information on the school's NFL draft prospects. Pioli hired him as a scout in 2003 after being impressed by his football acumen, with Peters working in a department that included future general managers in Thomas Dimitroff, Bob Quinn, Jon Robinson, and Nick Caserio. The Patriots made four AFC Championship Game appearances and won Super Bowl XXXVIII and XXXIX during his tenure. He joined the Denver Broncos in 2009 when Patriots assistant coach Josh McDaniels was named their head coach. Peters worked as a regional and national scout prior to being promoted to assistant director of college scouting in July 2014. He was further promoted to director of college scouting in 2016, with Denver appearing in Super Bowl XLVIII and winning Super Bowl 50 during his tenure.
In January 2017, Peters was named vice president of player personnel for the San Francisco 49ers. He was the first hire made by 49ers general manager (GM) John Lynch, who had no prior front office experience; they had met after Lynch attended Broncos draft meetings as a guest the previous year. Peters was named assistant GM in February 2021; he assisted in the selection of later-round draft picks such as George Kittle, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, Talanoa Hufanga, and Brock Purdy who helped the 49ers appear in four NFC Championship Games and Super Bowls LIV and LVIII.
