Kansas City Chiefs secara resmi mengumumkan pilihan mereka pada posisi ke-29 secara keseluruhan di putaran pertama Draft NFL 2026. Tim ini memilih defensive tackle Peter Woods, pemain yang sebelumnya membela Clemson di level perguruan tinggi.
Woods menunjukkan performa yang solid selama kariernya di Clemson. Ia tampil dalam 35 pertandingan, dengan 24 di antaranya sebagai starter. Pada musim 2025, ia berhasil meraih penghargaan First-Team All-ACC berkat catatan luar biasa: 30 total tackle, 3,5 tackle for loss, 2 sack, serta 2 pass defensed. Tak hanya itu, Woods juga menunjukkan fleksibilitas dengan mencetak 2 touchdown saat bermain di posisi ofensif.
Secara keseluruhan, Woods mengakhiri kariernya di perguruan tinggi dengan torehan impresif: 14,5 tackle for loss, 5 sack, dan 2 forced fumbles. Pilihannya oleh Chiefs menjadi langkah strategis untuk memperkuat lini pertahanan yang sudah solid.
Pilihan ini juga menandai kedua kalinya Chiefs memilih pemain di putaran pertama. Sebelumnya, tim berhasil mendapatkan posisi tersebut melalui perdagangan yang melibatkan cornerback Trent McDuffie. Dalam transaksi tersebut, Chiefs memperoleh pilihan putaran pertama dari Rams, yang kemudian digunakan untuk memilih Mansoor Delane dari LSU. Dengan Woods dan Delane, Chiefs kini memiliki tambahan pemain bertalenta untuk lini belakang dan lini pertahanan.
