KC

Concepcion

Per ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi, Concepcion participated in individual and team drills today. Oyefusi’s phrasing is a bit confusing, but we believe he is saying the Browns are closely tracking his Concepcion’s rep count, while allowing Concepcion to practice fully. The 21-year-old rookie underwent a knee scope in March. He told reporters today that he is feeling 100.0 percent healthy.

Cabot later writes that “the Browns really need Jeudy to return to his Pro Bowl form, and are confident he will.” We think her initial, hopeful framing is closer to the truth. Last week, Browns general manager Andrew Berry said rookie WRs KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston’s presence has “zero impact” on Jeudy. There’s an awful lot of reassurance going on here. Jeudy posted a 92/1,229/4 receiving line in 2024 before cratering to a 50/602/2 receiving line in 2025. Jeudy is under contract through 2027, but the dead money and salary cap savings are nearly even if designated as a post-June 1 cut next year. Given the Browns’ pass-catching investments over the last two drafts, and Jeudy’s poor 2025 showing, he looks like a dicey pick in fantasy for 2026.

Concepcion, taken by the Browns with the 24th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, said he visited with Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes when he transferred schools following his sophomore season at NC State. “He’s a great guy, a great leader,” Concepcion said of Sanders. “I just can’t wait to build that relationship and build that connection with him.” That Concepcion is excited about playing with Sanders in Cleveland could be noteworthy as Sanders competes with Deshaun Watson — coming off multiple Achilles injuries — for Week 1 starting duties. Sanders in 2025 ranked 38th out of 38 qualifying quarterbacks in EPA per drop back and 36th in accuracy.

Concepcion (5’11/196) got his start as a three-star recruit for NC State in 2023. He immediately stepped up as an all-purpose weapon, leading the Wolfpack with 839 yards plus 10 touchdowns through the air with another 320 yards on the ground. Concepcion ran for more yards than any of the team’s running backs while also operating as their top wideout. His role dissipated in 2024, and he went for just 460 yards before transferring to Texas A&M. A change in scenery was exactly what Concepcion needed. He rebounded with 919 yards and nine scores on 61 receptions in 2025. Concepcion also scored three additional touchdowns, two on punt returns and one via rushing. He averaged over seven YAC per reception and won the Paul Hornung Award, given to the nation’s most versatile player. Despite being an undersized player with a designed-touch skill set, Concepcion was primarily a boundary receiver throughout his collegiate days and he had no issues beating corners in man coverage. While he may ultimately play more out of the slot in the pros, Concepcion’s five-tool skill set could earn him a WR1 role down the line.

The Chargers don’t have an outsized need at receiver, but it can never hurt to do some due diligence on a potential first-round pick at a premium position. The 49ers, on the other hand, still need more firepower at wideout. Brandon Aiyuk’s release is just a matter of paperwork and Jauan Jennings remains a free agent. Even after signing Mike Evans, San Francisco is in the mix to add a receiver in the back half of the first round. Concepcion is electric with the ball in his hands, making him a great complement to Mike Evans’ jump-ball skill set.

Even with the acquisition of D.J. Moore earlier this offseason, the Bills could stand to put some more talent around Josh Allen. Concepcion has risen rapidly up draft boards throughout the pre-draft process and finished the year with 61-919=9 through the air while adding another 10-75-1 on the ground. He’s a versatile player who can play both in the slot and out wide, and also returned 25 punts for 456 yards and two touchdowns. Concepcion will add multiple elements to whatever team drafts him, and Moore, who will be 29 at the start of the season, only has a few years left in the league before age begins to take a toll on him. Adding a premier, young weapon for Allen should be a top priority for the Bills, especially with Joe Brady now running the show.

For those wondering whether the 49ers view left tackle as a priority in the first round, Miller said that in “talking to people around the league, the 49ers don’t necessarily view offensive tackle as a Round 1 priority.” The team has instead been linked to the wide receiver position. Concepcion has made top-30 visits with the Browns, Raiders and Dolphins thus far, but the inside-outside wide receiver prospect could be a good fit in San Francisco.

Concepcion already has top-30 visits with the Dolphins and Raiders on the books. While he isn’t in play for the Browns with their No. 6 overall pick, Cleveland also holds the 24th-overall pick, which they got from the Jags last year. That would be a reasonable spot to take Concepcion. The former Aggie went for 919 yards and nine scores in 2025. He also added a rushing touchdown and two punt return scores to the books in his final season of college ball. Concepcion’s versatility and elite playmaking ability would immediately earn him a spot in Cleveland’s starting lineup if they chose to go in that direction.

Smart move. The Raiders are widely expected to take Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick and currently field an extremely thin wide receiver corps. The Raiders’ second draft pick is No. 36 overall, which could be used to draft a No. 1 wide receiver. Given Bonsignore’s “deep” comment, we expect them to take multiple players at the position. The team recently hosted Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion, who is currently viewed as a candidate to be drafted late in the first round or early in the second. Tre Tucker, 25, is the Raiders’ most proven wide receiver, though he caught just 57-of-90 targets for 696 yards and five touchdowns last year. Other penciled-in starters include WR Jack Bech, WR Dont’e Thornton and WR Jalen Nailor. All three failed to earn 50 or more targets last year.

The Raiders are prioritizing building out a young and stable offense ahead of the likely selection of QB Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. The team signed Jalen Nailor out of free agency, but still has a thin wide receiver group. Concepcion caught 61 passes for 919 yards and nine touchdowns in his final college season, gaining steam as a late-first or early-second round pick. The 21-year-old is only one in a long line of receivers the Raiders will talk to prior to the draft, though Las Vegas holds pick No. 36 and would be in prime position to draft Concepcion.
