Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods met with the New York Giants at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, a significant interaction given the Giants' draft position. Woods is considered one of the top prospects for the upcoming draft, currently ranked as the No. 3 defensive tackle by Mel Kiper Jr.
In his 2025 season, Woods achieved second-team All-American status, recording five sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss. His disruptive athleticism makes him an intriguing option for the Giants, who hold the fifth overall pick and may look to strengthen their defensive front.
The Giants' defensive line is already anchored by Dexter Lawrence, a two-time second-team All-Pro. Woods, who has trained alongside Lawrence, offers versatility and explosive playmaking potential that aligns with the team's evaluation needs.
