Peter Woods | Anvil | Defensive Lineman | Clemson | New England Patriots 2026 NFL Draft Target

Описание: Clemson’s Peter Woods is one of the most disruptive defensive linemen in college football and could be a first-round target for the New England Patriots in the 2026 NFL Draft. At 6’3”, 315 lbs, Woods combines elite power, violent hands, and surprising quickness, making him a versatile chess piece who can dominate from the nose tackle spot, 3-tech, or even slide out to the EDGE in certain fronts.

A former five-star recruit out of Alabama, Woods has already shown production for the Tigers with 59 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles through his first two seasons. His ability to anchor against double teams, collapse pockets, and win with leverage makes him a fit in Mike Vrabel and Terrell Williams’ evolving one-gap defensive scheme. Pairing Woods with Christian Barmore and Milton Williams would give New England a powerful interior trio capable of controlling games up front.

In this breakdown, we look at Woods’ strengths, weaknesses, versatility across multiple defensive packages, and why he could be the next great Patriots defensive lineman. From early-down run defense to Speed-Rush sub-packages and goal-line stands, Woods’ impact potential is massive. If the Patriots want to add a true trench ANVIL to their defense in 2026, Peter Woods might be the pick.
