CEILING POTENTIAL

Near Elite

PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Woods is an explosive, twitch-heavy interior defender with rare first-step quickness and natural leverage that allows him to disrupt blocking schemes before they develop. At 6’3”, 310+ pounds with elite burst and lateral agility, he profiles as a penetrating 3-technique who can align across multiple fronts. His 2023–2024 tape shows dominant disruption traits, while his 2025 production dip appears more contextual than ability-based. He wins with speed-to-power, violent hands, and interior quickness, but must continue developing counters and finishing consistency as a pass rusher. Woods projects best in attacking, one-gap defensive systems that prioritize interior penetration and disruption rather than static two-gap anchoring.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

Near Elite (70-74)
A high-caliber prospect who is expected to become a significant contributor by Year 2. These players have outstanding physical tools and strong football IQ, with only minor flaws in their game. They demonstrate consistency at a high level and project as future Pro Bowl-caliber players if properly developed.
