Browns Snag Concepcion in First Round

0:00It's April 24th. You're listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. Cleveland Browns just snagged Texas A&M-wide-out KC Concepts-Y-Om with the 24th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He's the fourth receiver off the board, and the first Aggie taken in the first round since Mike Evans back in 2014. In 2025, Concepts-Y-On lit it up as one of college football's top playmakers, finishing third in FBS All-Purpose Yards with 1,450. He led the Aggies with 61 catches for 919 yards and 9 touchdowns, plus two punt returns for scores and a rushing touchdown, powering them to their first college football playoff birth. Earlier in his career, he burst onto the scene as a true freshman at NC State, hauling in 71 passes for 839 yards and 10 scores to earn freshman All-America honors.

1:01Over two years there, he totaled 124 catches, 1,299 yards and 16 touchdowns before, transferring to Aguilanda ahead of that banner season. Scouts break him down as an urgent, gliding athlete, with bursts that torches defenses on bubble screens and slants. His route running is coming along, but drops were an issue at a 10.3% rate last year. An SEC defensive coordinator called his hands shaky, yet praised his potential to be an NFL star if he tightens up. Meanwhile, he's versatile enough for slot or Z-Duties plus punt returns, giving the browns a dynamic weapon right away. Select him to flash early while polishing those skills in the pros.
