Peter Woods Selected 29th Overall by Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs have selected Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods with the 29th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Across 12 games as a junior at Clemson in 2025, Woods recorded 10 solo tackles, 3.5 TFLs, and two sacks. The 21-year-old is known as an explosive athlete who excels at getting into the backfield and disrupting plays. He needs to show more consistency as both a run defender and a pass rusher, but Woods profiles as a high-upside player for the Chiefs to mold for the future. With star Kansas City defensive tackle Chris Jones entering his age-32 season in 2026, Woods could be part of the team's eventual succession plan on the interior of their defensive line.
