Peter Woods, selected 29th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, expressed his eagerness to learn from Chiefs' All-Pro Chris Jones. Woods acknowledges the importance of mentorship as he aims to make an immediate impact in the league.
Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Peter Woods addressed reporters in a press conference for the first time shortly after being selected 29th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. He shared his excitement for the opportunity to learn from multiple-time All-Pro Chris Jones.
"I feel like I'm never satisfied. I'm never where I want to be," said Woods, "That's just kind of my mindset, just because so much work to be done, so much to learn, blessed to be in a room with veteran Chris Jones and be under Andy Reid, who has done it so many times, so just the situation is probably more of a blessing than anything else."
The Chiefs acquired the No. 29 pick to select Woods from the Los Angeles Rams at the start of the offseason in the blockbuster trade that involved cornerback Trent McDuffie. The former Clemson standout understands his skillset but seeks mentorship from the Chiefs' star defensive lineman.
"I think that I'd be crazy to come into a league that I've never played in and think I know everything," said Woods, "I think that I have the talent, I have the mindset, and I have the leadership skills, the capabilities to come in and make an impact immediately. But we're talking about a hall of famer (Chris Jones), so I'm going to be a sponge."
Woods was a Second-team Associated Press All-American in 2025. He started 12 games, finishing with 30 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks.
