Commanders add nephew of 49ers GM as scouting assistant

The Washington Commanders have hired Keenan Guthrie, the nephew of San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch, as a scouting assistant. Guthrie previously interned under Lynch after playing linebacker at the University of Northern Colorado, graduating in 2025. His hiring is part of a broader effort to enhance the Commanders' scouting department following the team's acquisition by Josh Harris in 2023. The Commanders recently appointed Ryan Kessenich as their new director of college scouting, replacing Tim Gribble, who joined the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team has been making several key changes to its front office.
