KCConcepcion
Rugged, versatile playmaker with the quickness and agility to elude coverage and the gyroscopic balance to make hay after the catch.

Concepcion is a tough, dynamic pass catcher with a wide catch radius and turbo-boosted acceleration. A transfer to Texas A&M in 2025 after a two-season stint at NC State, he took his game to a whole new level for the Aggies, proving he can operate as a three-level playmaker from anywhere in the formation. After playing mostly in the slot as an underneath option for the Wolfpack (in his final season there he saw an average depth of target of just 6.9 yards), Concepcion shifted primarily to the outside for Texas A&M, pushing his aDOT to a career-best 12.3 yards while reeling in 61 catches for 919 yards and 10 total touchdowns (nine receiving, one as a rusher). He brings suddenness as a route runner, using lightning-quick footwork to shake defenders off the line and at the route break. He sells routes with jukes and shoulder fakes before cutting sharply to create separation on digs and slants. He shows a good feel for finding space against zone coverage and makes sure to come back to the quarterback on scramble-drill plays. He brings a big catch radius and shows excellent concentration at the catch point (grabbing 10 of 15 contested catch opportunities last year, per PFF). He plays above the rim, elevating over defenders to snag high passes. He’s one of the better run-after-the-catch receivers in this draft, with 440 of his 919 receiving yards last season coming after the catch (and he averaged 7.2 yards after the catch per reception, with 14 missed tackles forced, per PFF). He’s a top-tier accelerator, mashing the gas pedal to sprint away from defenders and break tackles. His open-field prowess comes in handy when he’s returning punts, too; he averaged 18.2 yards per punt return last year, with two touchdowns on 25 returns.
Concepcion lacks top-tier size and could struggle to beat press coverage from bigger, more physical corners at the NFL level. Drops were a bit of an issue in college—he had a 10 percent drop rate in 2025 and notched a 9.3 percent drop rate over his career. He’ll have to work to clean up inconsistencies there. He also needs to get stronger as a blocker in the run game.
