KC Concepcion was taken 24th overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2026 NFL Draft after picking up first-team All-SEC honors at Texas A&M.
The rookie wide receiver has shown glimpses of his potential throughout the season. On Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, he delivered the breakout performance the Browns were hoping for. In the first half alone, Concepcion had eight catches for 129 yards. He had 186 receiving yards in six games combined coming into Week 7.
Here’s just a sample of Concepcion’s work in Nashville so far:
The Browns actually trailed 14-0 in this one with 8:35 remaining in the first quarter. Tony Pollard had rushing touchdowns on the Titans’ first two possessions of the afternoon.
Cleveland, however, has come roaring back. Concepcion caught a 23-yard pass on the Browns’ opening touchdown drive, capped by a Quinshon Judkins run to make it 14-7. He also made grabs of 32 and 21 as the Browns tied it at 14-14 with 2:17 remaining in the second quarter.
In Todd Monken’s first season as head coach, the Browns have been one of the NFL’s biggest surprises so far. Despite an opening-week loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland has won four of its last five and entered Sunday’s game at 4-2.
