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.

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.
