CEILING POTENTIAL

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
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
