The San Francisco 49ers interviewed Jimmy Raye III on Sunday for the team’s opening at general manager. Raye currently serves as the vice president of football operations for the Indianapolis Colts, a position he’s held for the past four years.
The 2016 season marked Raye’s 22nd year in the NFL, 17 of which were spent with the San Diego Chargers. Raye was the Chargers director of college scouting before being elevated to the director of player personnel.
Raye works side-by-side with Colts general manager Ryan Grigson on all personnel matters. The talented exec has a niche for finding hidden gems.
