The Browns are putting a lot of faith in their rookies. Each week, we'll grade one rookie's performance. This week, it's a look at KC Concepcion.
The Browns placed significant faith in their 2025 and 2026 rookie classes, with KC Concepcion being a second-round pick. On September 13, Concepcion made his debut for the Browns in their 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. During the game, he showcased his versatility by catching a pass for nine yards on a screen, evading two defenders to gain positive yardage.
However, he later committed a turnover when Jacksonville linebacker Ventrell Miller stripped the ball from him during a rushing play, which was graded as an F. Despite the turnover, Concepcion also made a solid gain of eight yards on a handoff during a jet sweep. He also had a successful punt return for 10 yards late in the second quarter.
