KC Concepcion: Browns' New Speed Weapon

0:00On April 25, Cleveland Brown's wide receiver group hit rot bottom last season, ranking dead last out of 32 teams. General manager Andrew Berry's draft picks since 2020 haven't stuck around or produced much, leaving just Jamari Thrashe and see Tillman on, the roster. Their top guy, Jerry Judy, went from a pro bowl year with over 1200 yards to just 602 this time around, earning a week grade from pro football focus. Inter Rookie Kevin Casey, Concepcion, the speedy playmaker they grabbed to shake things up. This 6 foot 196 pound Puerto Rican K from Charlotte grew up a bills fan but lit it up at NC State and Texas A&M. He racked up 124 catches for 1299 yards and 25 touchdowns in college, plus 431. Rushing yards and putt returns scores. Brown's fans are buzzing because their receiver room desperately needs speed and versatility

1:00after last year's drop fest. Judy alone tied for the league lead with 10. Concepcion brings slot weapons, jet sweep threat and return skills, fresh off winning the Paul Horning award, all American honors and topping the SEC and touchdowns. Scouts love his burst, yards after catch averaging 7.2 and top rankings against all coverages, but he's got flaws like 19 career. Drops and a smaller catch radius that Brown's coaches will need to fix, still, his open field vision and deep speed could stretch defenses right away. With Concepcion in the mix, Cleveland's offense might finally find some rhythm, giving Dishon Watson real options beyond the usual suspects. Keep an eye on training camp, this kid could flip the script quick.
