The Browns used the 24th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on wide receiver KC Concepcion, adding another explosive target after the team’s Travis Hunter trade was finalized. Concepcion arrives after a college career that took him from North Carolina State to Texas A&M, where he delivered one of the most productive seasons in the SEC.
In his lone season at Texas A&M, Concepcion caught 61 passes for 919 yards and nine touchdowns, and he added 10 carries for 75 yards and another score. He described himself as versatile and said he can play anywhere, run any route and make plays, adding that Browns fans would be getting “a dog all over the field” when he gets there.
That kind of confidence fits a Cleveland receiver room that already includes Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, plus young receivers Isaiah Bond, Luke Floriea and Gage Larvadain. The Browns also signed Tylan Wallace in free agency, tendered Jamari Thrash in March to keep him in the depth mix and added Isaiah Wooden on a reserve/futures contract in January, giving the team a crowded group around its newest draft pick.
Concepcion’s production at Texas A&M explains why Cleveland moved on him so early. After spending his first two seasons at North Carolina State, he transferred ahead of the 2025 season and immediately became a featured piece of the Aggies’ offense. He said the Browns were going to be “a special offense” and added that if the group puts its different strengths together, it can be “an expolsive offense.”
The challenge now is turning that promise into touches. The Browns have enough bodies in the room to rotate, compete and force decisions, but Concepcion’s skill set makes him the kind of player the offense can build around rather than simply add to the pile. If the Travis Hunter trade was meant to reshape what Cleveland can do on the perimeter, the No. 24 pick gives that plan a receiver who believes he can be deployed anywhere and produce immediately.
