Peter Woods enters the 2026 NFL Draft as one of the most physically gifted interior defensive linemen in the class, combining rare athleticism with technical refinement that improved dramatically throughout his Clemson career. Originally recruited as a five-star prospect, Woods took time to develop but emerged as a dominant three-technique penetrator over his final two collegiate seasons. His combination of first-step quickness, hand usage, and pursuit speed makes him a disruptive force capable of collapsing pockets and pursuing plays sideline-to-sideline. While questions remain about his ability to hold up against double teams in obvious running situations, his pass-rushing upside and versatility to play multiple spots along the defensive front make him an attractive Day 1 starter for teams seeking interior pressure.
