KC Concepcion 2026 NFL draft prospect profile, grades, rank, measurements

Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion is a problem for defenses. He is a dynamic and explosive athlete who excels in yards after the catch situations.

Modern NFL offenses use dynamic weapons like Concepcion all over the field to create mismatches and force defenses into less than ideal coverages. Despite Conception being on the smaller side, he is able to show off his skillset in multiple alignments and at every level of the field.

Concepcion is a threat when he gets the ball. He has a 7.2 yads after catch per reception (YAC/Rec) average and he may have been limited by some inconsistent offensive play overall. He also has a very good contested catch rate at 66.7 percent, bringing in 10 catches on 15 opportunities.

As a route runner, KC Concepcion gave elite college corners significant challenges. He has a very good package of releases of the line of scrimmage which aids him in creating separation on defensive backs where he is then able to turn on the turbo jets to accelerate. His routes are deceptive and quick and it is not uncommon to see defensive backs panic or completely whiff on hand strikes.

According to PFF's charting, Concepcion has grades over 91 at all three levels of the field and the film supports his advanced statistics. His lowest grade of 87.6 comes from behind the line of scrimmage on screens. His overall production is fairly spread out across all three levels but his short game is where he excels. When quarterbacks are able to get him the ball quickly, he becomes a dynamic threat.
