Carthon has been with the 49ers since 2017. He was named the team's director of player personnel last year after serving as the team's director of pro personnel.

He also helps prepare the team for acquisitions through free agency, trades, and the daily waiver wire.
Carthon previously worked as the director of pro personnel with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2012-16) and as a pro scout for the Atlanta Falcons (2008-11). He is a former NFL running back signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2004, playing with the club through 2006.
