The New England Patriots are set to host Texas A&M wide receiver K.C. Concepcion, one of the top prospects in this year's NFL Draft, on a pre-draft visit. Concepcion, a versatile player who was a consensus All-American and won the Paul Hornung Award in 2025, is among 30 players the Patriots will meet with leading up to the draft. The Patriots could target a wide receiver with the 31st overall pick, and Concepcion is considered a potential first-round selection despite some recent knee surgery.
Why it matters
The Patriots are always looking to add top talent to their roster, especially at key positions like wide receiver. Concepcion's visit suggests the team is seriously considering him as a potential first-round pick, which could have major implications for their draft strategy and the future of their receiving corps.
The details
Concepcion, 21, spent his first two college seasons at N.C. State before transferring to Texas A&M for his junior year in 2025. That season, he was named first-team All-SEC as a receiver, returner and all-purpose player, was voted a consensus All-American, and won the Paul Hornung Award as the most versatile player in college football. Over his four-year career, he had 185 catches for 2,218 yards and 25 touchdowns, along with 70 carries for 431 yards and 3 scores. He also returned 30 punts for 16.7 yards per return and 2 touchdowns. However, Concepcion recently underwent a knee scope, which could raise some medical concerns that the Patriots will want to evaluate during his visit.
- Concepcion is set to take a pre-draft '30 visit' with the Patriots in the coming weeks leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft.
