Commanders GM Adam Peters on Breaking Into the NFL, the Belichick Years, Top Golf QB Visit Drama, & Drafting Sonny Styles

On this special episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff sits down with Washington Commanders General Manager Adam Peters for an in-depth conversation about his journey through the NFL and the lessons he learned from some of the league’s most successful organizations.

Adam discusses how he first broke into the NFL, what it was like working inside the Patriots' dynasty under Bill Belichick, and the invaluable experience he gained during New England’s championship run. He also shares why he decided to leave the Patriots for an opportunity with John Elway and the Denver Broncos, and how those years helped shape his front-office philosophy.

The conversation then turns to Peters’ time with the San Francisco 49ers, where he learned the art of negotiation and roster building while working alongside John Lynch and one of the NFL’s premier front offices.

John and Adam also dive into the Commanders' recent draft decisions, including the controversy surrounding Jayden Daniels’ Topgolf visit during the pre-draft process and what ultimately made Daniels the right choice to lead Washington's future. Plus, Peters explains what stood out about Sonny Styles and why the Commanders were excited to bring him into the organization.

From career advice and front-office strategy to quarterback evaluations and draft-day decisions, this is a fascinating look inside the mind of one of the NFL’s top general managers on 3 & Out.
