Peters played an integral role in helping construct San Francisco's star-studded roster alongside GM John Lynch and joined the organization in 2017 as the vice president of player personnel.
The 44-year-old has spent 21 seasons in the NFL and previously worked as a scout for the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos before joining the 49ers organization.
Peters is well-respected throughout the league and has interviewed for general manager positions in years past. It appeared to be only a matter of time before he landed one.
