For those who have covered or watched KC Concepcion over the last three years, his breakout moments for the Cleveland Browns in the NFL preseason have come as no surprise.
From being named the ACC’s Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2024 to dominating the SEC and helping lead the Aggies to the College Football Playoff last season, the sky was always the limit for Concepcion. After becoming the first Texas A&M wide receiver selected in the first round of the NFL Draft since Mike Evans was taken by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014, the former Aggie has flashed on and off the field.
According to NFL writer Zac Jackson, Concepcion was named the MVP of the Browns-Bills joint practice on Thursday for his outstanding performance.
Concepcion’s highlights torching defensive backs are outstanding, but his ability as a punt returner and specialist doesn’t get enough attention. The former Texas A&M wideout had a massive 31-yard punt return in Cleveland’s preseason loss to the Bears, which could’ve ended with Concepcion in the end zone if he didn’t run into the turf monster.
During the offseason, the topic of conversation surrounding the Browns’ franchise has been focused on the quarterback situation. Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel are all competing for the starting spot, but none of them have impressed. The inconsistency and unknowns have caused doom and gloom for most Cleveland fans, but Concepcion’s shine has helped brighten their spirits a bit.
While he still has much development left before becoming one of the NFL’s elite wide receivers, Concepcion could be primed for a breakout rookie season, as he looks to make an impact on Sundays.
