Chiefs DL Peter Woods appreciates Kansas City's winning culture

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Peter Woods spoke with reporters at Saturday's press conference during this weekend's rookie minicamp. He reflected on his rookie camp experience and shares his appreciation for the franchise's winning culture. "It was great.

I think the biggest part was just being able to be coached by (Defensive Line) Coach (Joe) Cullen for the first time," said Woods, "Just some of the relationships through the coaching world that I've had and heard about his coaching style and stuff like that, so I feel like we're going to have a great time together. It's going to be fun. " 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. He was a Second-team Associated Press All-American in 2025, starting 12 games, finishing with 30 tackles, 3. 5 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks.

"I don't think there was much that I didn't know because the Chiefs do a lot of winning. " said Woods, "I'd say that is probably what I learned too, that the Chiefs do a lot of winning and what went into it and I'm starting to see a little bit of that now, just how the practice goes and how the coaches coach and just the flow of everything. They've earned it at every corner, and we're looking to do that again.
